    Beautifully relentless. Pulls you into its rhythm from the beginning and pulls you along inexorably, even as you begin to see disaster looming. There's not a wasted word in the entire piece, and Loewenstern has worked real magic in creating incredibly vivid characters (yes, characters, even in a monodrama), settings, and relationships with real economy of language.

    I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and was so impressed with Loewenstern's writing. There is so much that is happening, literally, all at once, as Loewenstern theatrically expands time, expanding the audience's vision and understanding of a moment. Within these expansions are haunting, exquisite images, expressing a highly memorable sense of place in motion. Really excellent work.

    A truly unique and gorgeous piece that will leave you in a tailspin of emotions. Poetic, thoughtful, and heartbreaking-- this was definitely one of my favorites from this year's MDC and would be such a joy to work on.

    A man is trying to keep his mind on his driving while other thoughts filter through his head. Written with a poetic style, this is a thoughtful little play that is also quite easy to produce.

    This lyrical piece takes random thoughts and puts them together in such a way that you can't help but go along with the rhythm and the jolts of the stream of consciousness.

    This monologue develops poetically, yet effortlessly, carrying with it the rhythm of memory and the many moments that accent life and living — And letting go. It's richly detailed, and deeply resonant. Loewenstern walks a lovely line between poetry and prose, knowing just how to hold the tension, and just when to release.

    Equal parts poem and play, this short monodrama is an astounding examination not only of thought, emotion, and the senses, but how we prioritize them. It dissects a marriage with precision and depth, giving the audience a strong sense of who these people were and are to each other on a drive in the night. Powerful!
