    Saw a reading of this at the 2017 NNPN Showcase in Orlando and was blown away. Funny, devastating, smart, and utterly compelling start to finish.

  • Kareem Fahmy: The Secretary by Kyle John Schmidt
    “

    One of the finest, funniest, darkest, and most thought-provoking plays I've read in years. Delving into the thorny issue of America's obsession with firearms, THE SECRETARY is a gut-punch of a play and shows Kyle to be an emerging writer of the highest standard. This is a play that deserves to get produced all over this country.

  • Kareem Fahmy: Sycamore by Sarah Sander
    “

    SYCAMORE is play that demonstrates Sarah Sander's masterful skill as a writer of suburban ennui, repressed longing, and the fraying of familial bonds. Each character emerges as a well-rounded and engaging presence, and the central sibling relationship will surprise and delight. Blackly funny and emotionally stirring.

    Tense, taut, surprising, funny, and ultimately devastating, PLAYGROUNDS is a masterfully written play about children, violence, and addiction. Featuring complex roles for four women, it's a wonderfully dynamic and of-the-moment piece.

  • Kareem Fahmy: The Barbarians by Jerry Lieblich
    “

    Jerry is one of America's most gifted new experimental writers. His voice is distinct and his way with words is unparalleled. THE BARBARIANS is simultaneously hysterical, baffling, moving, and just plain fun.

  • Kareem Fahmy: Khardal by Victor Lesniewski
    “

    KHARDAL is a brilliant and profound play about the origins of the Syrian Civil War. Tense, taut, dynamic, and deeply moving, it shows how the seeds of resistance can be corrupted.

  • Kareem Fahmy: Couriers and Contrabands by Victor Lesniewski
    “

    This is a play that examines the American Civil War from an entirely new angle, illuminating how women and freed slaves acted as spies during the war. It's a crackling thriller, full of humor and memorable relationships, and has a devastating climax.
