Maybe Tomorrow

Recommended by

  • Gina Stevensen: Maybe Tomorrow

    Funny, theatrical, and totally unique! "Maybe Tomorrow" is a delicious two-hander that wrestles
    with parenthood, marriage, and career, turning these seemingly familiar subjects completely upside down and forcing the reader and audience to question all the pre-conceived notions they brought with them into this play. As the action moves forward, we increasingly wonder what is real and what our responsibility as an audience is -- and the playwright keeps us on the edge of our seats the whole time.

    A hilarious situation to find oneself in where community can be found in the bathroom, but will the marriage withstand it? Riveting and well done!

    Nuanced, hilarious at times, and rich in depth and truth. I was absolutely engrossed in this play from start to finish. Max is a sharp and daring writer that everyone should lean into. I can't wait to read more of his work.
