  • Jenny Connell Davis: Class C

    A dystopian reality that feels disconcertingly close to our own, with finely drawn characters and a plot that kept my pulse rate up from beginning to end. I can't stop thinking about this play, and can see the set when I close my eyes. Truly, truly, a riveting piece.

  • Straton Rushing: Class C

    This play is the most effective use of dystopia I have read for the stage. Martin introduces what at first feels like a familiar hypothesis for (fascist near-future USA a la Handmaid's Tale) and then continues to expand it in all directions, giving it a new spin. The play is wryly funny at times but largely manages to keep you at the edge of your seat with constant distrust and tension.
