Beautiful imagery! Written mainly in the present tense, this piece has an active immediacy that allows us to move and emote with MARSHA until its lovely ending note.

Hilarious. I was laughing from the character list, and didn't stop until I reached the all-too-soon, but perfect, end. Would be so fun to stage as a director, designer, and actor, and thrilling to see as an audience member.

I was lucky enough to see this ambitious musical in an intimate production in Indianapolis several years ago and still find myself contemplating the lyrics and score. This adaptation provides something for everyone: a classic gothic love story, great roles for actors, and earworms for the audience.

A charming 10 minute piece that illuminates what women have had to endure in private to appear perfect in public. Offers two fun roles for actresses, plenty of laughs, and some wonderful insight into what it takes to be a working woman today.

A wonderful feel-good piece with a twist at the end! Sure to leave audiences smiling, laughing, and charmed.

A performance text ripe for devised theatre; fluid, this piece's word associations could build quite a night of theatre.

Fun, succinct, and true on the page, I imagine this play in production could really pack a punch.

Engaging from the very first line! Wonderfully gothic.

Martin allows us yet another beautiful glimpse into his characters' lives with COMFORT. I wanted more and more, but cruelly, like the women in this play, I am only allowed a short bit of it.

SO DELICIOUS I WOULD EAT IT UP OFF THE FLOOR. Hilarious, brilliant take on America and the Gilded Age with a wealth of material for comic actresses. Includes beautiful, heartbreaking monologues amid the laugh out loud dialogue.
