The Loneliest Road in America - Part of the "United Plays of America" Anthology (Nevada)

    I love plays about complicated sibling relationships and when you add in a touch of science fiction and dark humor, I'm totally hooked! Wonderful work as always and I'm looking forward to checking out more from the United Plays collection.

    Terrifically clever play with a touch of speculative humor that makes the audience question what they're seeing and suggests the existentialism that saturates major life events. In this case, Beth and Letia are embarking on a major life journey and have stalled, both literally and perhaps figuratively. This is one of those plays that delights and entertains while reading - both characters are fantastic and well-balanced - while also leaving the audience with rich questions to ponder.

    I enjoyed the dialogue and dynamic between these two sisters, as well as all of the story's paranormal elements!
