  • Beth Blatt: STORIES OF A NUER REFUGEE, OR RAVEN HANSEN'S TOTALLY LIT SENIOR PROJECT

    A very smart way to bring the conflict between two cultures to life - through a rude, ignorant teenager and the S. Sudanese refugee she interviews. The author skillfully interweaves different realities to bring the past and present together. Love the foreign words, traditions and specifics about life in her village and the refugee camp. Informative and transporting. And sad.

    Martin really nails the world. The absurdity, the language, the "high stakes." Well-made, and such fun. Actors will have a ball with it. And so will the audience.

  • Beth Blatt: On Arriving at the Refugee Processing Center, UNHCR

    Short but powerful. Gives a real sense of how unfeeling people who want to "help" can be. Changes how I will behave going forward.

  • Beth Blatt: Morning After

    Shocking and unpleasant, as it should be. Streamlined, believable. A different way to talk about the refugee crisis and America.
