←Recommendations of SKIN

A very funny comedy about the preparation required sometimes between family. Inventive and well done!

Tanuja Devi Jagernauth treats audiences and actresses alike to eye-bulging theatricality with her short play "Skin." There's gallows humor a-plenty mixed with a strong dose of fight choreography and symbolism. Yet the family's power dynamic, the foundation for Jagernauth's marvelous action & characters, makes it wholly relatable for audiences.

A really smart metaphorical and funny play about the complexity of a mother/daughter relationship. Bold in its language and theatricality, Jagernauth is an exciting voice for the theatre.

This ten minute dark comedy takes on a dysfunctional mother-child dynamic and gives it an absurdist twist. The result is that the power struggle between an emotionally abusive parent and an adult child is dramatized in a clever and hilarious way. With knife throwing.

Tanuja once again shows an adventurous grasp of theatricality. A tumultuous mother/child relationship is literally depicted with throwing knives at the dinner table. Powerful visuals make this play a true dramatic adventure for the stage.

This dynamic play is packed with visuals that would make a staged reading compelling and a performance *sheer perfection*. How writer Jagernauth manages to create such a structurally sound, emotionally evocative, relatable and humorous piece — in fewer than ten pages — is a wonder! And this play pops out because of its truly original premise. It's TOO GOOD! Brava!

This play will have you laughing at your own relationship with a beloved-strong-willed parent as well as leave you questioning the knives you let them throw at you. This play is dark, funny, and a riot.
