  • Gracie Goldstein: Ruins

    This haunting play documents the cognitive dissonance and temporal weirdness of leaving home abruptly, and under unthinkable circumstances. Life as a refugee and life in a war zone go head-to-head. Sasha's character is indignant, empathetic, and brutal with both versions of herself as she struggles to resolve her identity into one.

  • Jacquelyn Reingold: Ruins

    This unusual and searing short play explores the inner and outer worlds of a young woman during a war. Complex, mysterious, haunting. Great roles for two young women. Highly recommended.

  • Dominica Plummer: Ruins

    Very powerful short play written about the realities of war and from an unusual perspective. Sasha Serena writes not just about the destruction of Eugenia's home, but the destruction of her former self. In the setting of her ruined bedroom, Eugenia now an exile, confronts her younger self, and the conflict she feels at leaving her beloved home, in order to stay alive. Haunting. And necessary.
