The rhythm, velocity, and hilariousness of the language is a joy... One of the most truthful, funny 10-min plays I've ever seen.

A play about the tiniest of screws and the largest of life's questions... A 10-min gem.

This piece tricks you into believing in its clear-eyed Realism, but quickly surprises with inventive, theatrical twists on time, space, memory, and power.

A cutting, dark, insightful take on corporate virtue signaling... On this futuristic Silicon Valley-esque campus, all must sanitize the bloody reality of past struggles to obtain health and security in the present. This world is so scary because it's so close at hand.

Sharp, funny, fast-paced, bending space and time with theatrical inventiveness and moral panic.

A whodunnit two-hander! The technical chops required to make this bottled-up drama tick are admirable.

The best ten-minute play I've ever read.

SHITHEADS is a fine-tuned day job comedy about young people desperately seeking a vessel (the bike shop where they work) for their personal authenticity, amidst a culture that is increasingly skewed toward a vapid, winner-take-all economy. In the best spirit of THE ALIENS and THE FLICK, this sparse, four-person drama presents micro dilemmas (how to sell an overpriced bike) that poetically resonate with the great questions of a life well lived.

I was fortunate to catch a reading of THESE PEACEABLE KINGDOMS at the Kennedy Center MFA Playwrights' Workshop. It was simply one of the most captivating staged readings I've ever seen. KINGDOMS evokes the startling early work of Caryl Churchill and Naomi Wallace. But Woolley's own sharp, biting, dangerous, challenging brand of feminist theater comes pouring through as well.

On the surface, BUSINESS is an understated tragedy: a pair of star-crossed modern would-be lovers find, or rather lose each other in a faceless hotel. But underneath, Lusk subtly builds a heartbreaking statement about the relationship between how we work and how we love in 2017.
