  • Giulianna Marchese: MUD SEASON by Felice Locker
    “

    I really enjoyed reading this play for Script Club with Red Theater. As I was reading, I got the feeling that there is so much dramaturgy to uncover in this play that would be so fun to get into and bring to light with staging and even a program note.
    I was fascinated by the dialogue and how the characters seem to be talking past each other or only partially understanding. It would be so interesting to play with the dialogue in rehearsal.

    Mud Season feels like grasping at understanding between people, the sudden shift when what you thought you understood turns out to be something else entirely, the particular angle you can only get out of the corner of your eye. Jane Jane's active fight to be seen set against the strange melancholy of this representation of the West is full of moments of beauty.

    As a reader, I was happily swept up in the theatricality of this script. I think it will be stunning to see this script realized on stage.

    I love the distinct languages of the characters, the structure, and especially the theatricality of MUD SEASON. I love the predicament of being transplanted, stuck, trying to find a place to breathe freely and discover you screwed up. There probably is no free breathing left in this country. I love the dead characters from the past and how they function in this play making an unexpected stunning ending that will be awesome to see onstage. MUD SEASON is a relevant, significant play about important environmental concerns, and it's also filled with flawed human characters that make it wonderfully...

    As a reader for BAPF 2020, MUD SEASON was among my favorite scripts to read. This play has richly expressive dialogue and a finely-wrought structure that weaves in magical elements with social and environmental issues. The playwright has done their homework to write a disabled character whose disability isn’t the reason they exist in the play, but it’s simply the character’s reality. In other words, disability is not used for some greater narrative purpose. I hope to see a production onstage soon.

    Playwrights Foundation congratulates MUD SEASON as a Finalist for BAPF 2020. This play rose to the top 35 out of 735 plays submitted, and was discussed at length by our Bay Area Literary Council for consideration in our season. We loved how this play uses the language of theater to illuminate challenging perspectives and compelling intersectional questions. This play ultimately moved & inspired us and spoke to the core mission of PF. We hope that once we’re allowed to return to our theaters again, it will be considered for production to reach new audiences.
