    One of my favorite reads. Smart, tragic, brilliant. The twist in the end made my gasp in a coffee shop.

    Ooh I loved this play. Greene brilliantly adapts, examines, and deconstructs the character of Lavinia and the patriarchy's preference for voiceless women, using the worlds (and words) of internet chat and academia. An incredible work of theatrical horror--I'm dying to see that final sequence realized on stage.

    Rachel demonstrates a masterful ability to reclaim classics for a modern audience in XOXOLOLA. It's ambitious, raw, and a great addition to the pantheon of feminine horror, particularly in terms of how it (literally!) dissects the body as a physical form.

    XOXOLOLA is everything I have ever wanted in a 'femme horror play'. It made me think of the sexist, overdone work of someone like Tarantino or von Trier (or Shakespeare, even) and MY relationship to artists like that who revel in decay and violence towards women and femmes. Rachel Greene holds up an unescapable mirror to art, academia, the internet, and American life. The way Greene weaves in chatroom dialogue is sharp and perfect for the pace of the play. Freakin' read it!
