    These two friends feel so naturally connected in this play about coping with aging and death. Loved the description of the sounds in the stage directions. I could spend much more time with these women. I loved hearing their stories and their outlook on life.

    A brilliant riff on King Lear about passing down one's culture. A-poh is a role of a lifetime for an older Chinese actress. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.

  • Shaun Leisher: Beekeeper

    A play about loss and the way grief shows up differently in people. Loved the fantasy moments with the Queen Bee. This play will be a delight for sound and costume designers.

  • Shaun Leisher: it's been ten years since everyone died

    Loved this riff on horror tropes. Wonderful roles for trans actors. Need to see this produced with all the practical stage magic.

    I’m absolutely in love with this play. A beautifully written cast of characters. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. It’s a play about believing in things so hard. Please someone produce this play!!!

  • Shaun Leisher: To Rot in His Bones

    A heartbreaking two-hander about Judaism and the complexities of sexual relationships. I need to see this produced. Loved the moments of direct address.

  • Shaun Leisher: The S Paradox

    Loved how well-written the scenes of violence were in this play. Hope to see this play fully produced. Leff gives us just enough information to understand the time jumps instead of bogging us down with exposition.

  • Shaun Leisher: Gutbelly

    Loved how we are not sure what keeps these women in this room. Loved how gross and vile these women can be. A great play about people needing other people even when they pretend they don't. This play is a treat for young female actors.

    A moving exploration of womanhood. Loved the use of the GIRLS chorus and how they compliment the piece with their moments without words.
