I really enjoy the way this play explores the profound tether between Joe and the land he inhabits. The bond is visceral and potent, and it informs every interaction across all of BOUNDARY. Each character has clearly delineated goals, wants, and obstacles, but it's Joe's desperate connection to the natural world that sinks the deepest.

A big play that explores an enormous problem in America -- with huge laughs, outsize (but always plausible) characters, gigantic twists and turns, and, as it happens, a heart just as giant. The scale of the situations and the comedy stands in terrific counterpoint to just how dire America is for women who want control over their own bodies. Simply wonderful work.

It's unreal how great this play is. "Unreal" feels like the exact right word to describe a piece that traffics in memory, reality, naturalism, surrealist moments ... but the whole thing feels complete and ACCURATE. Really, really wonderful writing of sharp characters finding themselves in tense and hilarious situations. Woot.

This provocative, powerful piece of theater deserves to be seen, heard, experienced. Kantor limns the experience of eating disorders and recovery with empathy, grace, humor, and of course pain. Storytelling as trap and as savior is a really great tool; I'm so impressed with SHE GOT BETTER.

A lovely, very funny play about that very specific brand of self-doubt that strikes in one's mid-20s, and the deeply inconvenient ways the past can haunt the present. I loved Jenny (even -- and especially -- as I wanted her to get out of her own way). Actually, I loved them all. Hooray.

Okay, this thing is so funny I found myself jealous. Plays about theater are tough to craft, but this one is novel, inventive, fresh as a daisy -- and did I mention very, very funny? A wonderful read I'd love to see live.

A pure delight! Inventive and so much fun -- spending 10 minutes with Billy the Kid (not his real name) and Gene Wilder (not his real name either) as they fail and fail again is a joy. High concept plus hilarious dialogue equals HEIST!

Officially creepy in the finest way. My favorite scary things (books, movies, plays) begin like this one, in the most casual way ... and then take a turn. Chilling. Modern Poe for the win.

I love few things more than a caustic female lead. Holly, in THE FALL, is one of the all-time greats, and the play she centers is a truly grown-up pleasure. Funny how not knowing what to say isn't necessarily a thing we outgrow; the key appears to be finding someone who understands what we're not saying. Beautiful work.

The deep, unrelenting, and thoroughly admirable and enjoyable weirdness of this domestic ... comedy? ... is so very welcome. So much fun, so dark, so splendid. Woot, Prillaman!
