“ I have not been this excited about a new play (nor its inevitable future) in a long time. Afghanistasia brings us a host of thrillingly complex, multi-faceted characters whose voices are so wonderfully distinct that, as a reader, I hung onto every word they said. The willingness with which Chuirc thrusts them into the silent hurricane of unchecked, toxic masculinity and allows them to organically respond to it - either succumbing to its power or emerging on the other side - truly makes me want to be a better writer. Be on the lookout for this play...because it's unstoppable. ”

“ King has written a wonderfully endearing piece of theatre. IN THE SAUNA brings you into this room with these two men and envelops you with its subtle sultriness and unexpectedly pitch-perfect dark humor. Please give this a read...and tell me you won't think twice about the next UPS delivery man that comes to your door. ”

“ I was enraptured by this play mere pages in. Much like the whale, THE PLACE THAT MADE YOU is an absolute behemoth and - with its hauntingly beautiful dialogue and wonderfully ethereal atmosphere - swallows you whole. Equal parts expansive and intimate, it is simultaneously a biblical epic and an intensely deep character study. The people that Bruce has created here are handled with such grace and maturity that their interactions feel almost threateningly real, but trust me - you will not want to look away. ”

“ Osmundsen has created a genuinely lovely play here. The use of fireworks as a theatrical device is exhilarating, and the way they punctuate dialogue in the most precise manner lets you know that this writer knows exactly what he's doing. Ned's final monologue also gives the play a wonderful bookended quality that is as satisfying as any great fireworks display. ”
