    I had the pleasure of seeing this play at the Seabury Quinn Jr. Playwrights’ Festival. Egdorf has created a rich landscape with likeable characters facing morally complicated dilemmas. There are no easy answers in this play and the final scene will stay with me for a long time. I would love to see a full production of this play.

    Through evocative language and rich characterization, Egdorf grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until the final reveal. This play masterfully captures the dynamics of small town life, the pervasive danger of insidious men, and the power of women who demand the most from life for themselves and for each other. It has forever changed how I think about rattlesnakes.

    A moving story about sacrifice, small towns, female friendship, and taking your life back into your own hands. Egdorf has written beautifully drawn characters in a harrowing situation, and the ending will stay with you for a good while to come.

    I cannot stress enough Egdorf's gorgeous and expert use of language and metaphor in her work, and The Evolution of Rattlesnakes is no exception. It is a testament to her amazing care for character- and world-building. While hearing this play, I was transported to the West, which is in some ways as wild as it was before with small-town gossip and men too powerful for their own good. The heart of this play lies in the relationship between Denni and Louisa, two women I can't help but root for.
