←Recommendations of Brian the Comet

I love this play. Not having read Emily Hageman's work before, "Brian the Comet" was a wonderful introduction, a delightful, funny, sad, and yes, brilliant, rumination on love, life, death, and everything in between, told with an unusually engaging creativity and tenderness. And be sure to read the character descriptions, themselves a work of flippantly saucy art.

Lovely and unusual play that's both suspenseful and very moving. Hageman writes teen voices and teen lives so beautifully and truthfully and gives them amazing roles to play too, but the adult characters in this script are also wonderful, as are the nonrealistic ones (I adore the Vending Machine!). Read and produce this play!
