Recommendations of Amputations

  • Ian Donley: Amputations

    This haunting play serves as a reminder that one's past always catches up with them. In this case, it's like Jan Rosenberg has forced her characters to stop right in their tracks to remind them of their own. The most fascinating thing about this piece is how we, the audience, can feel this tension up to the very end. There is very little room for us to breathe, which makes this piece an attention-grabber. Very captivating work here!

  • Amy Berryman: Amputations

    An incredible piece that will stay with me for a very long time. Rosenberg has created four thrilling, upsetting, complex characters in this tense, dark, and at times laugh out loud funny play. Highly recommend!

    What a beautiful play. Jan demonstrates such a generosity and sense of love for their characters all the while not letting them off the hook for the ways they harm and complicate one another's life. Everyone in this tight ensemble piece has such potent needs, desires, and wants...Jan explores issues related to forgiveness, addiction, family trauma, and small town life, fully utilizing and fleshing out their characters' intersectional identities while centering their human souls in the process. Raw truths unfold through the disarmingly human, poignant, funny dialogue. I'd love to see this on...

  • Mak Shealy: Amputations

    Amputations is a visceral, sharp and gut-wrenching play. Each character is an absolute meal for an actor. Past hurt and present pain collide throughout this piece and Rosenberg's dialogue expertly turns dark-comedy into earnest vulnerability on a dime. I cannot wait to see this onstage! Exceptional parts for queer, non-binary and trans artists! Rosenberg is a writer who constantly surprises and inspires me and I'm excited for more to come!

    A moving piece of theatre about the painful pasts and the messiness of moving on. Rosenberg has written great, complex characters for non-binary actors.
