  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Clara, A Thorough-Good-Fellow

    It's shocking what Clara is considered a-thorough-good fellow for. Reuben does a wonderful job revealing it all to us rather than telling us. I'd love to see it produced!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: the day we were born

    This play is probably one of the most remarkable and important plays of the century. We should all read it. I hope it will be produced everywhere and often and become part of the canon because it is an urgent and appealing, beautifully written and conceived theatrical event for all of us. Not to be missed!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Blue

    This is a stunning short play that deserves every accolade! The reveals page after page move us toward so great an understanding of how the way we see things shape us in the most profound ways. Hageman has given the world a remarkable piece of art that should be produced often! Stunning!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: You Haven't Changed A Bit

    Spot on! No wonder it's had so many productions and won so many awards - this is wonderfully relatable in all the best ways. I love the ending. I love that Len remembers how everyone died. There's no sugar-coating here, and it makes for a poignant and truthful piece that will touch everyone in the audience. Kudos!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Cult of Domina

    With great pleasure I recommend this transgressively filthy play that looks at the rise of the Nazis from the vantage of the sex workers servicing them. The language is fantastic. The scenes are hold-your-breath dramatic. I look forward to seeing it onstage!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Ghosts of Wuthering Heights: A Literary Haunted House

    Dramatic and immersive way to tell this story from each character's point of view. All of it sheds illuminating light on a well-loved story! This would be a wonderful leaping off place for creative collaborations. I look forward to seeing it onstage!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Night Witches

    This is a marvelously well-written dramatic piece that shows how the Night Witches - the female airplane pilots who fought for Russia - flew missions to bomb Germany during WWII. It is intense and wonderfully paced. Beautiful ensemble work - it would be great to see staged!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Dignity

    Dignity is a fascinating play about a mother daughter relationship that is incredibly out of sync. Tieger's staging ideas would serve the play well and increase our sense of their disconnection. I love the mother's outburst that she explains away instead of owning - Tieger is marvelous with details like this to give us a full sense of what is looming underneath it all. Well done.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Attachment Disorder

    Absolutely brilliant satire on motherhood, the early months, and if it wasn't so spot on, and if I hadn't already lived it word for word, I woulda laughed my ass off, but it's so true!!!! I still wish I'd moved to Sweden to raise my little sprout! This would be fantastic in any short play festival and should be produced often!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: MY LEFT BREAST

    I am so thrilled to be able to recommend this play because it was my introduction to the work of Susan Miller, and I saw it when she toured with it in Iowa, and it stays with me because it is a powerful piece of honest lived experience and transformation that transforms its audience. It certainly transformed me. We should all be so lucky to see it and know it and let it inspire us all.
