"MATRIARCH" opens with an act of unspeakable horror, and gives way to a poignantly written investigation of mother/daughter dynamics amidst homecomings, betrayals, magic, and intense grief. This play will linger in your gut long after you've read it.

The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced MATRIARCH as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We highly enjoyed the stakes the writer employed, the circumstances of the generations of women in this family, and the themes of vengeance and grief. We were engaged by how family trauma can be hidden or glossed over and the forms in which the writer was using to tackle the content. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production. #BAPF46
