Brave, intensely truthful, and masterfully multi-dimensional, RECENT UNSETTLING BUSINESS puts Netflix’s THE CHAIR to shame. This is the real deal version of that story, which makes Andrea Stolowitz both prescient and brilliant. The play is a masterclass in how to craft a gripping, action-packed story with huge stakes and unexpected reversals, and yet, not a moment of plot. Instead, her tender characters collide out of their own aching needs. Every single moment is earned. Delight in the shifts and turns, the delicate balance of shifting perspectives. Better yet, produce it!!!

Sparking a powerful conversation. The difficult battle to create a world where all are equal asks questions about free speech, identity and who should be speaking as they all face tremendous consequences as a result. Well done.

Recent Unsettling Events is so many things, but first and foremast it is brilliant. Stolowitz demonstrates the complexities of life on a college campus from student to professor to administrator in a way that makes clear nothing is clear. Students fight admirably for agency in their education as professors do their best to please the school and the students while remaining steadfast in their own intellectual pursuits. There are no easy answers and this play leaves you with a great deal to think about when it is over, which is all I want in a play.
