I thought I would die but I didn’t is a genre-warping play about the disconnect between the storytelling of violence and its reality. A mostly true-crime true story. It's bloody. I mean over. Sorry, I have murder on the brain. Over over over.

    A stunner. This play utilizes a wide range of styles and approaches that nonetheless always feel correct, apt, ideal. I'd love to see it in three dimensions. A significant piece.

    Loved this play and how meta it is. The three different parts of the play are so unique and interconnected. The monologue at the end is genius.
