  • EGG IN SPOON by Rachael Carnes
    7 Nov. 2019
    “ Winsome, bittersweet, hilarious, subversive, shocking, and, above all, pointed: Carnes' piece is delivered with poetical polish and a strong sense of clarity around her politically relevant topic. This is a short play to wrestle with, one that offers no easy answers and lets no-one off the hook, including the audience. I usually tend to see plot twists coming a mile away, but was so pleased to be continually caught off guard by this timely play. ”
  • Her Too by Debra A. Cole
    7 Nov. 2019
    “ Complex and surprisingly funny inter-generational piece that reveals the many layers of when and where a woman 'ought' to tell her #metoo story, concluding with the refreshing argument that every single woman's answer will be different. Cole deftly manages a tricky balance between drawing all of her characters with compassion without creating false consensus or excusing toxic behavior. A wonderful - and much-needed
    - addition to any short play festival whether or not they are specifically grappling with these issues. ”
