Satire is best served sharp and Braverman nails it. Everyone is roasted and heat lamped and no one is spared. Left/Right, Believers/Nonbelievers, even the immigration debate sneaks in. So much to fill your plate. Excellent dialogue speeds the play along and requires multiple readings to truly enjoy.

The concept of this play alone is enough to make one laugh out loud, but BRAVERMAN's execution heightens the comedy tenfold. From the smallest details like the "Great Slurpee Flood of Long Ago", to the overarching themes of faith and blind devotion, this play is laugh out loud funny from start to finish. A joy for audiences to watch and for creative teams to realize, you're going to want this play as a part of your next festival.

I saw a reading of this play at the 2019 Valdez Theatre Conference, so I was happy to find it here on NPX so that I could relive the silliness. Did I just refer to it as silly? Well, yes. But any play that speaks of an "Eternal Bed of Dough" obviously has its thoughtful side as well.
