  • Katie Bender: How Should A Conversation Be? by Malena Pennycook
    “

    This play has huge velocity. It is a powerful compacted theatrical piece that takes all the moments of a shared relationship; from the mundane to the extraordinary, and compacts them into a shiny jewel of a play. Pennycook gives so much space for the actors, directors, designers to fill in the details of the world. While giving the audience a sweet, funny, scary, human look at love, trauma, and the very human desire to build connections and a life with loved ones. Produce this play, I'd love to see it onstage.

    A play that moves quick, specific, and big. These characters feel so alive and finely tuned and it is invigorating to go on the journey of their relationship with them. Each beat is rich and resonate. What an exciting text to bring alive.

    Pennycook notes that the play should be performed like it's a speeding train and that's what the play feels like...if a speeding train were heart-wrenchingly on-point about relationships and love and the passage of time and the fragility of the body and the beauty of finding your person and making a whole messy, fucked-up, imperfectly wonderful life with them.

    It moves, and it's moving.
