    06/16/2025 - Danielle has such a gift for writing period pieces that are not only suspenseful, but informative as well. In this piece, she shines a light on two WW2 heroes who are not well known, and puts them in the heart and center of a gripping ten-minute piece. As someone who is very interested in WW2 stories, I'm learning a lot from her work and I can't wait to read more. I would love to see this piece onstage. Well done!

    An intensely theatrical short with two female French-speaking spies about to be parachuted into Occupied France by the British. The young women lay bare their hopes and fears, just before their leap into the unknown, exposing the psychology of those faced by danger, unsure of their enemy but also their own side, the males. Their back and forth repartee has a poetic quality and truthfulness, clinging to what they see as good omens in order to pluck up courage. With two glorious female roles, minimal staging and ratcheting up the tension, this is a piercing, adventurous piece.
