  • Zach Barr: Lay The Bent to the Bonny Broom by Zoe Senese-Grossberg

    The moment I realized that Rowena embodied not only Edith and Caroline's desire for social acceptance, but also their justified desire for revenge against society's callousness, the play snapped into place. Watching the humans try to temper the robot's impulses only made their own deep-seated anger more apparent, and watching the veil of gentility peel away as the plot picked up was gripping. How inhuman do we allow ourselves to be, to fit in with those who say our humanity isn't enough?

    Had the pleasure of reading this script a couple of years ago, and it's cropped up in my mind several times since then. Absolutely one of my favorite scripts I've ever gotten to read. I cannot wait until this gets produced one day.

    One of the most lovable scripts I've read in a long time. Expertly and tactically written, the script creates a world that is so easy to get lost and involved in. With characters that are passionate, complex, and frightening, Lay The Bent To The Bonny Broom captures attention and keeps suspense around the characters relationships and mortality the entire show. Asks several questions, leaves you haunted. Would love to see a production of this play

    Passionate, layered, funny, and dark, Senese-Grossberg has created something unique and enduring that lives up to its promise of being "the A-side of a Jane Austen novel and the B-side of a Mary Shelley novel." The scary, sexy, devastating Jewish Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein of your dreams. What does it mean to act out of line when you already have an identity-based target on your back? Who wins and who loses when oppressed people submit to an uncaring societal hierarchy to gain acceptance?
