←Recommendations of One Night In September

This brave, important play is going to mean so much to the many, many (too many) girls who have experienced assault on college campuses—particularly queer girls, who don't always see themselves in stories like these. The piece does a phenomenal job putting the audience in Maya's headspace using the appearance of the character Brendan - even just the sight of him crossing the stage without any lines was enough to elicit a paranoid jumpscare. Meanwhile, the play does a great job of balancing the real responses victims encounter - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Moving, inspiring work.

One Night in September has a touching poem, with a grand play around it. I love plays that deal with an issue - such as sexual assault - and makes it immediate. Each character takes on different responses and directions to bring this to a great solution. Conversation worthy. Award worthy and production worthy.

I loved this play. I was immediately pulled in by the great characters and polished writing. In addition to the sexual assault, which was harrowing, Dana Hall really captures what it's like to be a college student in this day and age. All of the characters had something to offer a potential audience. Would love to see this produced. Highly recommend.

Dana Hall writes this script with delicacy that makes the navigation of sexual assault on college campuses an informative and raw experience. Plus, "Girl, I hide so far back in my closet I could’ve come out in Narnia" is probably one of my favorite lines of all time (but that's just a personal reference). Produce this play!

This play is adictive from the word go! Dana presents us with a group of students in higher education with one in particular having to try and deal with something that's happened, although what the something is isn't clear in the first instant, and that's what makes this an incredible piece. You, as a reader, and certainly as an audience member I'd imagine, you will NEED to know what events have we not seen to make the characters behave this way. Intertwining this fascinating and emotional story with gorgeous poetic language is just genius, All it needs is a production!
