A very serious subject, handled with inventive surrealism. Multiple levels of reality keep the audience guessing and raptly attentive throughout.

This is a very assured writer. The play takes on a timely topic and approaches it with understated intensity. The dialogue is crisp and economical, and the characters come to life through subtle moment-to-moment interaction. It's a great vehicle for actors.

A touching story about an unlikely relationship that develops between two sharply opinionated characters, both of whom begin to reveal surprising vulnerabilities underneath. She works for a doctor; he has cancer and has lost faith in the medical profession. So the conflict is clear--and yet they fall in love.
Without taking sides, Willett provides a hard-nosed critique of the current state of medicine in America, seen through the eyes of two characters we come to root for and care about.

An unusually subtle and sophisticated ten-minute play. Davis uses seemingly mundane details (a waffle, a radio...) to uncover big truths about men and women, hopes and dreams, the American mindset, and the ironies of history. Perceptive and poignant.

This is an eloquent, personal take on one of Shakespeare's most mysterious and ambiguous plays. With an assured voice and a style both convincingly timeless and bracingly contemporary, Le Blanc fills in the gaps in the Bard's plot, giving special attention to the female characters, who emerge as powerful, multi-dimensional women. Always respectful of the original, she probes deeply, illuminating the story and themes with insight and imagination.

Economical dialogue and tight pacing keep the tension rising. An intriguing family drama that explores the damage that can result when secrets fester and the members of a family can't talk honestly to one another. The details are well-observed, leading to a convincing atmosphere and sense of place.

This is a very timely piece that depicts recent true events that people need to know about. Passionate, clearly drawn characters and provocative political debate over the future of education in this country make the play compelling and important.
