←Recommendations of MARVEL-OUS MONICA; IN WHICH MONICA LEWINSKY IS A SUPERHERO HELL-BENT ON REVENGE

A funny, poignant, and at times enraging revisiting of Monica Lewinsky and the scandal that (dare we say unfairly) bears her name. Sarah weaves original source material, hilarious commentary, and a superhero narrative into a lively, engaging discussion of--among other things--workplace harassment, gender discrimination, and collective memory. It may frame Monica's story through the lens of a superhero, but it's also very much a trial, and one in which no one leaves unscathed.

This brilliant play takes actual testimony and whirls it in with the creativity of using a superhero to let power become a theatrical force. It's moving and eye-opening, and funny enough that no one will feel like it's the history lesson that it is.

Marvel-ous Monica is a smart, funny, and illuminating play about Monica Lewinsky as a superhero who creatively intervenes in women's lives. It's an adventurous mix of drama, docudrama, and laugh-out-loud comedy that forces us to rethink the narrative of the Monica "scandal." It's a timely piece that was a big hit with the audience. I was thinking about the play long after I saw the reading. Theatres should snap this one up!

Funny, heartbreaking, thought-provoking--Monica Lewinsky's story in creative, historic, untold detail. To read this now creates so many layers to the narrative, and pulling Monica from history to tell this story to the world is brilliant.

Oh, wow, this play. It's hilarious; it's deeply moving; it's full of kindness, forgiveness, and truth. This play *had me* at page one, but it quickly, and repeatedly, blasted way past my expectations. I'm so glad that this play exists in the world. Everyone should read it, and theatres around the country should form a queue to produce it. Brilliant roles for women, imaginative staging, and a triumphant ending that will have audiences applauding and (if they're like me) openly weeping.
