The authenticity of the dialogue in this play is stunning and, when paired with the intimacy of the characters' relationships, makes reading it feel like an act of voyeurism. The cadences, which shift with familiarity or a lack thereof, reveal so much about the employees at Freeplay, too. The play made me think a lot about complacency in adulthood, and the ways we choose familiarity over happiness, and whether or not that's valid. I'm obsessed with the specificity of this world. Great work!

This play uses dildos as a way to explore design thinking. How are people thoughtful about the physical products they build? What about the businesses they build? The relationships? It's an exploration of women in STEM that no one else could have written.

“Freeplay” is a fascinating play full of characters who crave connection. Set in a sexual wellness company, the business of making dildos is the backdrop of the search for emotional intimacy. The language is so rich and reflects the way we wish we could talk to one another. Would love to see and hear a full production!
