“ Three researchers investigate the implications of global climate change, its effects on plankton and algae blooms, and the calamity of masses of dying whales. Exhibiting either dreams or madness, each get caught in spectacular considerations on identity, the importance of naming the animals, as Adam was said to have done, naming themselves, and naming each other. An Antarctic fever dream, stretching back to the beginning of time to the present moment, from when humans were all genders in one being, before being split apart by the gods, or by God, or by nature. It's gorgeous, and I highly recommend it. ”

“ Diaz-Marcano presents America in microcosm, a desert town called Slab City in which a reformed Nazi skinhead and his Afro-Carribean Latinx lover live on the outskirts of Western civilization, caring for their two-spirited Native and adopted child Támit. Striving to create a new future, the past returns for revenge and though there is great loss, the younger generation are able to escape and move into a New America, to be two of those the character named Roberta calls those “great people in between the stars and stripes.” It is fiercely urgent and a great read. Highly recommended! ”

“ This full-length play is a beautifully and believably written soliloquy, the theme of which is Bill Clinton's comparison between himself and Hercules, the demigod who returns to earth to instruct and lament man’s inability to abandon hate and mistrust for peace. Here the master orator, code-switching as necessary, between Bubba and William Jefferson Clinton, espousing his love of Arkansas watermelon at one moment, and Nelson Mandela the next. This monologue is gripping, compelling, and even a bit maddening, much like the man himself. Highly recommended! ”

“ It’s about domestic abuse, and about the failure of our protective services. It is also about the fourth estate, and how journalism has been compromised by the corporations who have acquired our media outlets and have compromised them to serve profit. And it’s about women. How they are hurt, and once hurt how our systems are more successful at protecting the men who have harmed them. The subject matter is compelling enough, but it is well-served by the playwright. Rivas structured a fact-based script which is gripping, moving, poetic and frank. Highly recommended! ”
