    Fans of ANGELS IN AMERICA, AN OCTOROON or CLOUD 9 should read this play immediately. (So should everyone else, but we'll begin with those folx.) A sophisticated disco ball of history - reflecting, re-shaping, and omitting moments until the play spins with questions of identity, colonization, the hoax of privilege and more - yet also manages moments of terrific humor and entertainment. Who knew that a play set in the 18th Century would be more potent and provocative than any play set today. Very highly recommend!

A sophisticated disco ball of history - reflecting, re-shaping, and omitting moments until the play spins with questions of identity, colonization, the hoax of privilege and more - yet also manages moments of terrific humor and entertainment.

    A beautiful, meditative and adventurous play; I'm in awe of how L created a story so epic and yet so intimate. I cannot recommend this play highly enough after seeing a workshop with P73. I am so excited by this play.

    Wow, L was kind enough to invite me to a first read through of this vibrant new play, and I am in big time love. L's ability to weave such complex narratives and infuse them with passion and urgency is what makes her one of my favorite new playwrights. I'm so excited to see where this piece goes, and I highly recommend it.

    "Thrive" is a wonderful and inventive play that shines light on a relatively unknown historical figure and explores deep and important questions about gender, authority, and history. It's written in Feldman's usual wonderful dialogue, and has a series of great roles for a strong ensemble. I love the play's ambition, and its scope is epic indeed.
