  • Lainie Vansant: Of Madness and the Electric Dream by Taylor Sklenar
    “

    This play is fascinating all around. Sklenar has a gift for putting high stakes and a magical patina on real science, which is fascinating and compelling. This play connects the past to the future, questions our moral and scientific goals, and has excellent roles for women - an all-around win.

    At once very real and very... not, this play is original and funny and disturbing in turns. My mind keeps coming back to it, and I would LOVE to see it staged. There's a lot of fun stuff to work with here. Check it out.

    The theme of this play is provocative and sure to leave audiences thinking. It tackles a complex subject with humor and a touch of absurdism, pulling the audience into a deeply interconnected world where even the simplest logical facts seem to be in question. It's great - give it a read!
