←Recommendations of the calm before

This play deftly investigates a strained family relationship which represents, in many ways, the strained family relationship within the 'family' of US citizens today. Both characters are delightfully stubborn, flawed, and engaging. Check it out!

A moving story of a father and daughter working through the barriers that have distanced them, how to work through trauma and move forward. Well done.

This piece is great for anyone who is looking for a dynamic story about a father and daughter who have been pushed apart by different views, loss, and time. "the calm before" is a poignant piece that evaluates how moments from our past come bursting forward to the present and evaluates how traumas can merge and how they can be let go.

A taut and economically written two-hander starring dynamic and exquisitely rendered individuals placed in a perfect, tense setup. A great deal of urgency drives this propulsive play and the hurricane (literal) is an always present and well-used extended metaphor for the human hurricanes within the house. The nuanced threads of family trauma and the realities of grappling with mental health and physical disabilities as adults are woven in so carefully. I'd love to see this compelling piece staged.

I think this play is absolutely brilliant; powerful and suspenseful with a deep throbbing heart at its center, I can't wait to see this play produced.
