  • John Mabey: Crazy Quilts

    Karen Fix Curry has woven such a brilliantly delicate tale that will leave you with both chills and laughter. The characters are cleverly constructed and every line races toward the surprising ending. Definitely a play I'd love to see staged.

    Horror with a polite smile, dark comedy with a cup of tea.

    Praise Karen Fix Curry for her skill; for her trust that an audience will pick up on clues, innuendos, and implications; for advancing the story and showing character through action and visuals.

    "Crazy Quilts" is shiver inducing, and your audience will remember it long after a performance.

    This is an eight minute short that turns from light and friendly, to as dark as it can get. The Quilting Circle has figured out how to help women who need it...after a few questions asked. I'll remind my sons not to go to these islands.

    I loved the way this story unfolded with questions being posed and then answered at just the right moments!

    Oh I love this! I want it to be a full-length play! Creepy, dark, comic, and delicious.

    Small communities are made up of people who in turn know a lot about the other people in their small community. In between, some of those people form smaller sub-communities, driven by a shared interest. Or two.

    What begins as a cute little tale about a fledgling local feature writer and an adorable quilting circle soon reveals itself to be something darker and lovelier. There's plenty of pathos and surprise in its ten quick pages. The characters are colorful and the story has a depth that defies its initial quaintness by weaponizing it.

    A clever and unexpected story that is much more than it seems. Curry takes a heavy topic and weaves a fun, fascinating, and profound tale in just ten pages.

    What starts out as an interview ends up feeling like a group session support meeting. It’s amazing what can happen when women put their collective minds together to solve a problem. We definitely need more women like this in D.C. Great job and kudos to Karen for weaving so effortlessly a great piece with Crazy Quilts. Crazy in a good way.

    A slyly crafted tale where women take the law into their own hands and audiences cheer for them. Dark and twisted, this play will have you guessing until the last line.
