Not much makes me want to cry but this sure did. I highly recommend this play, not only because it is urgent and necessary, but also because it's so relatable and real. Every moment of it works. A great piece to study if you're looking for what works. And it works so beautifully because of what isn't written. Mabey gives us room to fill in all the unspeakables from our own emotional reservoirs to remind us how human we are. That's what makes theatre great.

Such a funny piece with 3 great roles that are very distinct. I love how charming the aide is, and how so many of my expectations were overturned as this examines how hard it can be to give in to reality. Well done!

Such a funny piece! When Sam goes up against her inner critic, she faces all the different characters of her past and triumphs! I love how strong she is. This is also a really super piece for an actor who can play several roles. Well done!

One of the most brilliant plays ever written. The language is honest and visual and excoriating. The use of the audience is fantastic. I would love to see this play live onstage. The science is grounded in the onstage need of the character and necessary for the play and also fascinating. We are wild creatures made even more complex by our social norms, scars and psychology. Wonderful work!

A super-fantastic play about coming to terms with death. For All Ages! LGBTQIA+!!!!! This is such a supremely relatable play! I wish it was around when I was a kid. Bluestein-Lyons knows kids and has a great ear for dialogue. I really appreciate her humor and her plotting with fabulous dramaturgical doubling that works beautifully. A gift of a play!

A truly sumptious and complex play that deals with how trauma impacts friendship and whether or not relationships can survive. Malakhow teaches us a lot about the dramaturgy of time here. This is a very exciting play to read, and I hope I get the opportunity to see it staged! The drowning is especially theatrical, and the whole thing is truly beautifully crafted. READ IT. PRODUCE IT. Give us this play!

A stunningly beautiful evocation through incredible language the most theatrical story of Navajo legend become personal, moving, urgent plea for humanity to recognize each other. A play that must be produced. A play for all time. A play of Shakespearean proportions. A play that sings and silences and spontaneously could heal us all.

Truly remarkable moving work! I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful collection of the varied responses to different moments over the past year of the 2020 pandemic. The pieces can be done by many or few voices in so many ways, it would be a joy to see how many directors could bring different ideas to it. I am sure it will have a rich and varied life for a very long time! Kudos!

LOVE this fabulously theatrical play about the ways in which we are all complicit in the bloodshed in the Middle East. Skillman skillfully provides the artists' point of view, the desire to expose the truth, and then she complicates this with reality (in particular the reality of media). A very moving story of love, trauma and loss that can touch all of us and help us to face how we continue to allow our country to foment and perpetuate heinous crimes for our comforts. Beautifully done!

What a charming play! Bicknell has crafted an endearing piece with 2 strong female roles. I could really identify with the young woman who didn't have a family urging the one who did to make the call. Great work!
