Recommendations of Radio Man

  • Ryan Stevens: Radio Man

    Such a smart and humanist version of the post-apocalyptic perspective. A laser-focused depiction of a few scared, lonely people at the end of the world. Not a line of dialogue wasted, not a stage direction out of place.

    An amazing play where every single moment means something. Loved it from beginning to end. Perfect for all colleges and so many professional theaters throughout the country. Produce it!

  • Samantha Oty: Radio Man

    A heartbreaking, thought-provoking post-apocalyptic play reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road"--but shares the oft-forgotten female perspective of the end of the world.

  • Shaun Leisher: Radio Man

    Groustra has crafted an absolutely perfect post-apocalyptic play. Loved how this play explores how much girls have to grow up in this dangerous world. I was fascinated by how protective Helena was of Mary Grace while also seeing it as something hard that she didn't sign up for. I loved the scene towards the end where Helena and Vera just get to be girls and remember the before times. I won't be able to stop thinking about that ending. Would love to see this play produced in colleges all over.

    Rarely is a contemporary tragedy so well-structured that you experience that visceral, rock-in-the-gut, audible "OH NO" moment that contextualizes the entire play and brings the themes into relief in sudden, stark detail. With that said, everything leading up to that disarming moment is an atmospheric treat, full of subtle apocalyptic worldbuilding that comes through bit by bit. Ultimately, this is a story about how very dangerous ignorance can be and why growth and development are so crucial to the business of humanity. Gorgeous characters, incredible stage pictures, and thought-provoking...

    A stellar play. I adore the investigation of how apocalypse might stunt child development. The ending is a jaw-dropper-- inevitable, but genuinely shocking. Groustra has a gift for planting narrative breadcrumbs.

    An absolute gut-punch knockout of a play. Radio Man surehandedly weaves together loss, displacement, and the dangerous blindness of innocence into a tight, compelling sci-fi drama led by three young girls. I'll be thinking about that ending for a very long time...
