“
I saw this at Boxers and Briefs beautifully done. It is a moving play that already has a wonderful life, a piece worth studying for structure and revelations. Alterman is a master of the form! ”

- Alond(R)a by17 Feb. 2018“ Beautiful, heartbreaking play. I love the world, the tags, the language, the characters, and the heat of it, the physicality will be so wonderful staged - a director's dream of a play. ”
- The Stone Face by6 Feb. 2018“ This is a highly theatrical romp, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! I love the card game in the other room and all the hijinks but more than all that is the way it becomes moving - this is a soulful piece that touched me with a depth I was not expecting. I wish I could see this one on the boards! ”
- I and You by5 Feb. 2018“ Love this play! From the first time I encountered it on the page until I took my son to see it at 59 East 59 (he was 14 then) and it was so exciting to see his mind get blown by it! Such a beautiful story that works on multiple levels. A feast for the senses too! ”
- WOMEN LAUGHING ALONE WITH SALAD by4 Feb. 2018“ I adored this play as a reading directed by Kip Fagan at Manhattan Theatre Club - what a wonderfully fun evening this would be! The characters were intensely real. The shifts fast and dissonant. It left with me the energy of a sumo wrestler to go out and tackle the world! How inspiring! ”
- Happily After Ever by3 Feb. 2018“ Very funny with a really fresh take on gender and a great use of language. ”
- Almost Mary by2 Feb. 2018“ Knowing this story quite well, I really enjoyed seeing how beautifully Ms. Haas has developed the drama of it, and by turning Mary's tragic early loss of her father into a strength that feeds her passion for fossil-finding, Mary becomes a universal hero who audiences will always love. The play is a triumph! ”
- Headshots by1 Feb. 2018“ This beautifully written, moving play will stir your heart in so many ways. Each character is so well drawn, and the play works itself inevitably to an ending that feels honest and true with great roles for everyone in the cast. The script (except for one typo on page 19) is as close to perfect as they come. Burroway is an artist who knows how to suggest enough to take us everywhere we need to go on this epic journey. ”
- Figurine on the 6 (short) by31 Jan. 2018“ What a fun and fabulous short play! Smart, smart, smart (but not too smart). Hilder gets me immediately involved. I will not give away the ending which is dramatic and earned and exciting. But I do want to say that we need more of this. We need these plays where people actually confront each other about what we are living through this minute. I have been on this train! ”
- FAWZIE: A HOTEL CHAMBERMAID MONOLOGUE by31 Jan. 2018“ I really love how human this character is, and how theatrical she might be on stage - not to make light of any of what she is dealing with - but because she is struggling enormously, and I find the level of difficulty, the struggle itself, is brilliant. It is something we can all relate to, whoever we are. This is the whole purpose of theatre, and I am thrilled with what Wyndham is doing! ”
