I so rarely am delighted with a script--and Light Switch had me reading without pausing. Maybe because I love the same authors that the main character Henry does? (Except for Wuthering Heights...) No, it's just such a clear coming of age story--coming of age complicated by being gay, too smart, and having autism. I'm so glad this script has garnered such success.

Saw this read at a Synchroniciti event. Lots of fun. Made me realize that you can write plays for the Staten Island Ferry even if you live in New Zealand. But. https://www.dialectsarchive.com/nebraska

I was all set to hate another play about gay men but this is strange and wonderful and painful. Oh, now I see the "magical realism" keyword. Magical realism is my favorite, and this play does it so well.

My kind of play--just a little magic in the middle of mundane reality. A kind of magical realism. Funny magic.

I'm not Italian, but come from a large extended family--and from a town near Weston, where the family in this play ends up. So already I have a connection.
The play manages the multiple generations, and the time shifts, beautifully. A perfect holiday play. And a lovely family play.

would love to read this but can't download it.

A weird and wonderful play. Saw it with a "Billy" actor who is over six feet and over 250 pounds, somehow fitting into a crib! Creepily hilarious.

The poetry of the devout farmers of the past. I can't imagine how I would direct this gem--the imagery of the words is so beautiful they deserve equally beautiful design images. Adams catches the plain language of the time, working in counterpoint with the hymns and dancers. I recommend it to Midwestern theatres, but I think the city folk of the east really need to see this.

A new take on an old trope, with a strange and lovely reversal.

Missed this at Midwest Dramatists (we were back to back). As a sci fi aficionado, I love it. But it's also tightly written, and funny! So even if sci fi is not your thing, you'll love the romance.
