    I enjoyed a production of this monologue during Rough Magic Shakespeare Company's Three by Three: Uprisings show on July 9, 2020. This piece was easily performed in a virtual environment, and offers up both humor and humility. Great piece for an older actor!

    A fabulous piece that lifted my heart and brought me so much hope. The unveiling--both of the Creator's work and the twist within the play--is handled with stunning artfulness. This piece can be interpreted in so many ways, like all good art, and each new interpretation brings something new and joyous to the table. Martin has written yet another moving work for the stage, one that will stay with audiences for a long, long time. Everyone deserves to be in the audience for a production of this piece, and I hope everyone gets the chance to be. PRODUCE THIS!

    I love a good poetic piece, and this has all that and more! A powerful message for women the world over, and a warning to those who don't respect all that our bodies can do. From dancing to fighting and back again, this is a theatrical smorgasbord and its pretty delicious.

    A light, comic look at some of the upsides of the global pandemic and how some of our non-human counterparts are adjusting, or perhaps, thriving.

    Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. This play illuminates the ways womxn can show the world the balls we've grown out of a quest for survival and how we can use them to thrive/fight back. Powerful metaphor on the page which would be made even more powerful onstage.

    A fun use of language and its multiple meanings in a short, sweet package.

    Lovely! I adore this piece and how it offers up different options for performance as a monologue or a group piece, and I believe it would work well as either. I especially enjoy the gothic, fairytale vibes this piece gives off, and how they are handled with a very contemporary feel. In such a small package, this piece offers plenty for a director and actor(s) to play with.

    Wonderfully handled two-hander that covers so much ground in 1 minute. The role of Mildred in particular would be a fun and juicy role to tackle.
