An incredibly theatrical play that does what only plays can do! This is a play about sisters and loss and family and grief and how we manage what we have to manage. There is a driving poetics at work here that thrills me on every page.

I know two women who were forced to go through very similar situations, and I am so glad this play exists so that the women who have had to endure this can see themselves in it because they so deserve this beautiful and big-hearted play! Thank you Elizabeth Heffron for writing this play with its wonderful characters today and from history. I love them all. Also the monologue is stunning, just stunning...

There are very few plays that make me tear up, and this one did. Not just once, but several times! I remember when the 36 Questions came out, and I thought someone should write a play using these, but this goes beyond what I imagined for it. Such a brilliant play. Goes deeper than I expected. May it live a long well produced and published life!

Wonderfully conceived and well executed metaphor that works really well as a play and makes me think first of how we can be too quick to offer ourselves to people and then about how fickle we can be and then how things change as we age... OBJECT would be a great part of any short play festival!

Here is a solid 2-hander with meaty roles for 2 men with so much to say about the times. The long-standing relationship between the 2 characters is well developed. Simon is able to show us how they each respond so differently to the world. He puts so much at stake for them from beginning to end. I have great respect for the work here.

Wonderful play that includes the audience, and I always love that! It's a theatre-lovers play all about the biz, so that's fun, and it's also a rom-com and a bit of a fairy tale. This would be a lot of fun on stage in any festival of shorts!

Wonderful play with great roles for women! Higgins puts Betty and Annie in the most precarious situations. She is unflinching in showing us what they have to deal with. How they try to make things work out in such a world - their tenacity - it'll stay with me a long time.

A funny send-up of modern art including and specifically attacking performance artists in a way that would be quite enjoyable onstage without anyone having to cover themselves in anything gross or spill things! The characters are bright and articulate - very art school - and so aware of the issues of our days: capitalism and climate change. Would be great for any short play festival.

Fascinating play where things happen that only happen to one person, and no one else can see them happening - this is important - and I think Binstock has found a great way to convey things that can't be said easily. Things about negative capability and art, the artworld, and living in a body, the pressures of life and living, especially female life. The quiet nudity in this play that accumulates as the play happens is intriguing - I would love to see it produced!

Gorgeous short play that goes from the jubilation of a party to the deepest existential questions of life in a seamless sequence of events that make it all perfectly inevitable and moving. Brava!
