In true Caridad Svich fashion, this play says so much with few words and poetic monologues speak so much truth. This is a play about the wars that are fight far away and in your own backyard and how difficult it can be to come home for yourself and those left behind. Like so many of Svich's plays, this one is a treat for directors, designers and actors. I can't wait to see a theatre take on this piece.

This is a fascinating two-hander that makes us sit with how we deal with beloved artists that have done horrible things. The characters are so complex and this play does what great theatre should do, leave the audience with way more questions than answers.

This play was such a delight to read!!! Walters has written a play that gives a detailed portrait of life in this planet's most secretive nation, an engaging tale of a young woman's journey to self discovery and a meditation on trust and family. This play expertly alternates between telling an epic, fantastical story and developing characters in intimate moments. This is the kind of honest, complex theatre that the Asian American community deserves. Bravo!!

A tight ten minute play that has so much relevance to our current society. Rachel Bublitz in a short amount of time has created a dystopian future in a play that's perfect blend of horror and satire.

This play needs to be part of part of the college/university theatre canon. It's a play that will stay with audiences long after they see it. One of the best uses of non-linear storytelling I've ever read in a play. Its a play that addresses rape culture head on and leaves you with no easy answers, which is what great theatre is supposed to do.

An important play for the age of #MeToo. A play that introduces people to the genius of Ana Mendieta, asks questions about her death and the role Carl Andre played and an exploration of the connection between artist and audience. A feast of a play for adventurous actors, designers and directors.

This is a brilliant play that needs to be done everywhere especially in the political climate we find ourselves in. The issue of high school mass shooting is explored through a unique and critical perspective as we try and make sense of why these incidents occur and what happens to the loved ones of the victims and the perpetrators that are left to pick up the pieces. Barclay uses a highly theatrical medium to full effect and forces humanity to sit together and face ugly truths.

I love the simple poetic nature of Svich's dialogue. These characters don't always say much but their connections with each other and their current situations are so clear. Also that last moment will drive audience to sobs. Though much more expressionistic than other plays about blue collar communities, this piece deserves to be alongside Dominique Morriseau's Skeleton Crew and Lynn Nottage's Sweat as plays that truly speak to the heart of this nation today.

Really didn't know what exactly to expect from this play but by the end I had known I read something really special. By playing with theatrical forms, the playwright has written a piece that touches an important topic without being preachy. This play has heart for days. This should be done at every college and high school.

A superb play about workplaces that have a culture of their own and how different people embrace or pull away from that culture. A hysterical play that is so honest and a showcase for five female actors.
