←Recommendations of Toxic

A chilling and utterly compelling portrait of the lies and self-loathing undergirding most toxic masculinity. These two young men are clearly drawn and the shifting dynamic between them is riveting. The final moments are harrowing and depressing and ring regrettably true. This is a powerful and important work.

A spectacular capture of the toxic masculinity that defines the self esteem of many young men and leads to the squashing of compassion. Well done.

Bublitz captures the fragility and combustibility of masculinity that pervades the lives of young men trying to find their worth in the world. The play is a deft balancing act of portraying men who try to adhere to social expectations without defaulting to caricatures. Intense, relevant, and authentic.

Wow. This devastates you with the truth about young men and masculinity in this country. These are two kids we all know and maybe even have been at a certain point in our lives. It's uncomfortable, tense, fast-paced and brutal in its honesty. The humor is dark and the pathos pitch black. This play is a beautiful mirror for our communities at the exact right time. Produce this. At the very least, read it, now.

This play accomplishes an awful lot in 20 minutes, ratcheting up the intensity in riveting fashion with a timely social commentary that hits uncomfortably close to home. We all know men like this, and through a biting sense of humour and uncomfortable rage, we're forced to reckon with the culture we continue to breed as a society.
