←Recommendations of Such a Pretty Face - full length

This play is incredible! There's so much truth, beauty and pain in this piece. It's incredibly moving and deeply important, a gorgeous statement on loving yourself and chasing your dreams wherever they may lead you. Fantastic!

A good script with solid dialogue that is elevated to another level with the inclusion of periodic monologues that have a special kind of poetry, making what is true in the script even more present and real. Martin has a clear talent for capturing the rhythm of everyday speech. The characters are vividly alive and their joy, and their pain, is visceral in its impact. I've read the play twice now, and there is so much depth in the quick-paced scenes that I really can't wait to see it staged.

Such a Pretty Face is a body positive manifesto that never falters in its sense of optimism in the face of adversity. Sharp, funny dialogue and brilliantly lively slam poetry, along with a protagonist who feels undeniably relatable, are among the things that make this piece soar. Really great roles and material for plus-size actresses. Would recommend giving it a read!

Such a Pretty Face is a challenging look at how it feels to seek for love while fat. The narrative is punctuated with slam poetry all focused the experience from earliest thoughts to ultimate breakthroughs. The Girl is who we always wished we'd be. She's fat and demands to be treated as an equal. Her journey is hilarious and sad. Beyond this, the broader point of loving oneself regardless of how we're wrapped permeates this play. Give it a read!
