Marge is a vividly-realized, dynamic character who serves as a strong nucleus around which the other characters orbit. The supporting folks are boldly drawn individuals as well whose evolving relationship to Marge's substance abuse issues keep the play moving at a steady and always engaging pace, while also providing for some genuinely surprising turns. I appreciated the clear sense of place Yenser evokes and the visceral, gross-yet-compelling images that he utilizes to flesh out Marge's conflicts and relationships. MARGE defies genre boundaries as well--dark comedy mixes with gritty intervention tale which mixes with revenge story--in a unique manner.

I love Marge!! And the constellation of friends and family that are attempting to help Marge get through the day. This play is so lifelike and relatable - The exquisite blend of funny and tragic. Yenser's setting, this space, feels like its own character, and the story that spills out all over it, is just magnetic.

This!!! Play!!!!! It's good! It's dark! It's twisty! It's kind of gross! The roles are meaty and unique. The dialogue is sharp and lightning fast. The characters are DELIGHTFUL. It has such a great sense of time and place and specificity and there are few playwrights who do Pennsylvania Dirtbag as well as Chase Yenser does. Read this play. Produce this play.
