Recommendations of Three Year Summer

  • Jack William Rodgers: Three Year Summer

    I think what this play does really well is it captures the purest of adolescent joy and puts it onto the page. Whether or not you were super into Harry Potter or not, I think that anyone can relate to the feeling of being 13 years old and being unbelievably excited about something in the same way that Tommie and Pat are about HP.

  • Kate Langsdorf: Three Year Summer

    I read "Three Year Summer" with a big batch of other scripts a few months ago. I don't remember the other plays very well, but I keep coming back to this one. It feels to me like the right blend of uplifting and devastating. I've never read a Harry Potter book nor seen any of the movies (I know, I should), but even with the lack of insider knowledge, the world and fandom were vividly drawn and the characters were well-developed and completely relatable.
