Robin Berl crafts so much emotion and story into 10-minutes with MATRIARCHY. Two sisters on a special day explore all the complicated aspects of faith and family while making us laugh at the same time. Their bond and chemistry is strong, and Berl writes with much clarity and precision as each sister expresses her point of view. A powerful piece that resonated with me on several levels and is sure to be a hit when produced.

This play is so interesting. I love the intimacy of the sisters' relationships and how things are revealed. The conversation is realistic and true to each character. You can sense the fear of one and the hopefulness of the other.

From the moment I read the character description of "necessary F-bombs because God forgives" this had me chuckle so I knew I had to read it! The play itself, despite having moments of humour, at its centre is a hard hitting story centres around the relationship between the two sisters. The difference between the two personalities coupled with the quick back and forth dialogue makes this an intense piece but definitely has some beautiful and witty moments.
