    I saw a reading of this play at the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival a number of years ago and it has stuck with me. A beautiful and wrenching story, well-told.

    Beautiful, haunting, and a gut punch. I'd love to see this in performance.

    This is a beautiful and deceptively simple play. There’s so much to be mined here and I’d love to see it in performance.

    Gorgeous, urgent, raw, and essential. This piece is a journey full of pain *and* hope—-and I look forward to seeing this in production. Beautiful.

    A beautifully written monologue. I'm hungry for more and would love to see this as a longer piece.

    Wow, is this a stunning and heartbreaking play. Poetic, ethereal, and riveting.

    A smart, heartbreaking, and beautiful comedy with sharply-drawn female characters. I've seen this play multiple times--both during its development and in production--and have been awed by the surprising moments that actors continually find in the script. I think it's a true gem for actors.
  • THE BUTCHER

    THE BUTCHER is both sharply intellectual and wrenchingly emotional. It's a stunning exploration of faith. And it needs to be produced everywhere.
