  • Nick Malakhow: The New Galileos by Amy Berryman
    “

    A wonderfully thrilling and engrossing piece! All of the characters are distinct and compelling, and the action moves briskly and with mounting tension. Prescient and terrifying to read in our socio-political climate in the US, but all the more important to do so because of it. I love how Berryman succeeds at navigating and exploring a nuanced discussion of "upstandership," activism, and the power of individuals to make change or be complicit in the status quo. In fully fleshing out her unique and specific premise, Berryman succeeds in rendering a universal rumination on these topics.

    I've listened to this play on the Parsnip Ship podcast and fell in love with it. It is beautifully, heroically written. The characters are all different, intelligent, and compelling. I would see this show onstage in a heartbeat.

    I heard this play read on the Parsnip Ship podcast, and it's my favorite of that series. A very chilling and not-quite-as-far-fetched-as-we'd-like scenario of the government using extraordinary means of coercion to alter the conversation on climate change to a way that suits them at a terrible human cost. The writing is disciplined and compelling, the characters distinct.
