Recommendations of Alma Baya

  • Greg Lam: Alma Baya

    An intriguingly drawn character piece about women trying to grasp their purpose in life amidst a strange situation made stranger by the arrival of someone who does not fit their conception of life. A master class in world building.

  • Cheryl Bear: Alma Baya

    A powerful look at a future world with barely enough resources to survive. Who will make it and how did they get here? Well done.

  • Anne G. Morgan: Alma Baya

    I love this play. This alternate world is intimately and imaginatively rendered and leads to both humor and intrigue.

  • Matt Minnicino: Alma Baya

    The tautness of this play is sensational. Edward's world is not indulgent in the least, but built like a thrilling, intricate machine of inter-relationship and ratcheting tension. An audience might draw a million and one provocative meanings from Alma Baya, which is part of its beauty -- it plays your imagination like a piano. Edward's play is a master-class and brilliant primer on how to create sci-fi for the stage, how to inject genre theatre with humanizing themes, naturalism, and delightful theatricality that won't break the bank. A play I can't wait to see staged.

  • Nick Malakhow: Alma Baya

    Briskly moving and clever sci-fi parable. Darkly humorous and keeps you engaged with progressive surprises and well-timed expository information. The specificity and uniqueness of the characters combined with the open-endedness of their symbolic weight and meaning makes this a really intriguing piece for a director get their hands on! I hope to see this onstage some time soon!
