Recommendations of Big Iron Fires

  • Dan Caffrey: Big Iron Fires

    It's so hard to write about guns and gun control in a way that's nuanced, effective, and entertaining, and yet Romero has done just that. Funny, interactive, playful, ultimately hard-hitting, I could go on...

  • Dave Osmundsen: Big Iron Fires

    This is a big, bold, confrontational, messy, complex, and thought-provoking play about the epidemic of gun violence in our country. Romero bravely takes many disparate elements from classical theatre, pop culture, and politics and blends them into a relentless and powerful short play. This is not a play that you will walk away from without a reaction, which to me are some of the best kinds of plays. Check this out!

  • Joshua H. Cohen: Big Iron Fires

    This play will provoke intense, emotional reactions on all sides of the gun control debate - exactly as it's designed to do. It combines the confrontational and the symbolic/literary for maximum emotional firepower (pun intended).

    Inventive, immersive, intimate theatre that forces you to consider and discuss the issues around gun culture.
    This is the kind of play will not only challenges actors and audience, but also producers.
    Consider this piece for your festival on plays on gun control.

  • Philip Middleton Williams: Big Iron Fires

    You can’t look away from this inventive and gut-punching play that takes audience participation to a new level.

  • Rachael Carnes: Big Iron Fires

    This well-crafted play is a gut punch, honing a critical eye on the gray areas that we've created around gun culture. It's remarkable to imagine the permeable conversation about this charged subject, between actors and audience - and within the audience itself.
