←Recommendations of The Snake God of Fiji (A Hedda Gabler Prequel)

This is an engaging prequel that shows off a new side of some familiar characters, cleverly (and aptly) exploring the complicated reality of imagining others complexly. It grapples with both the horror of being known and the horror of remaining unknown... but never without losing its wit, imagination, playful tone, and the occasional anachronism. In a world in which all we can do is fabricate the inner lives of others in our minds, is it mad to get attached to those fabrications? A beautiful story about love, grief, art, and power that's yearning to be staged.

An irresistible, ridiculous, wild, poetic, rollicking jaunt into the absurd and the beautiful. This play is hilarious, and joyful, with sass, comedy, depth, and tons of heart. A killer play for actors and a production team all around. I need, NEED this play to be fully realized.

THE SNAKE GOD OF FIJI is a delightful historical romp, simmering over with sexuality and the accompanying innuendo. It's a sly wink at its source material, and at the same time, a thoughtful exploration of how we try to live vicariously through our art.

This historical fiction piece is a delightful read, full of clever word play and shenanigans, and leads to a beautiful and haunting conclusion. Vondy's exploration of relationships in this play tugs at the ways in which we may focus on what we want instead of what is.
