This is a play that will keep you on the edge of your seats and takes you places you never see coming. The overlapping dialogue and natural, yet poetic way these women speak are a true testament to the skills of Colon as an exciting new playwright. Love how this play explores the layers of rape culture and how social media impacts messages and movements.

Will robots replace actors in the future? Well if the opportunities for that are as good as this monologue, I would be OK if they did!

Jovanovich has beautifully crafted this picture of Heaven that is wholly original yet well researched. This play is full of action, political intrigue, romance and lots of humor. It's a play about a big idea but thanks to these fully formed characters and their well written dialogue its an intimate piece that will impact hearts.

Nothing beats well-written slice of life comedies featuring ordinary people in pretty extraordinary situations and Doug Williams kills it with this play. A play both hysterical and heartbreaking that looks at human resilience and the capability of our bodies to do wonderful things.

This play is both extremely of today while also being timeless. It appears that politics and religion will be strange bedfellows for the foreseeable future and Svich's poetic and at times sparse writing beautifully captures the gravity of that. The role of Preacher is a fantastic flawed hero like many others that populate Svich's plays. What happens when helping others and helping our own are at odds?

I wasn't familiar with The Decameron before this play so I can't speak on this play as an adaptation (but now I wanna read The Decameron) but as a allegory for today I think it works really well. Weingarten is really good at writing privileged people and her use of dialogue is brilliant as always. I love how this play explores the elitists belief that wealth and standing can keep them safe (which is definitely something we see today) and morality in medieval Italy. Do this play folks!!!

This is such an important play in our time of religious fanaticism. I love how simple yet how theatrical it is. It's a play that knows it needs to be a play.

A beautiful exploration of trauma and memory. Femia writes place really well and this play is great at making Brooklyn and Coney Island its own character in the play.

I'm so excite to follow the development of this play. This playwright is awesome at writing sad people that find each other and are connected by their sadness. Don't get me wrong though. This play is not a downer and there's lots of hope to be found by the end. Another gem for Gina Femia!!!

Really hope to see this play produced everywhere. Its a hilarious and gut wrenching look at how we deal with trauma by sometimes pretending it doesn't exist.
