A delightful story of disparate personalities trying to come together to make a community and a home. The organic way the conflict unfolds is a lesson for any playwright, and the play does not go for any easy, contrived answers, but challenges the characters every step of the way.

Man & Wife turns a tale about marriage into an epic. The detail in Goldman-Sherman's characters is finely realized, with every bit of it ringing true. The play masterfully speaks to our time, with concerns about the political divide, LGBTQ and gender issues, and others. But the play also seems timeless, suggesting we're still not done with many concerns of traditional marriage. A marvelous play!

A fantastic play that hits so many points square. Babel is so plausible in its conceit, that acts taken in the name of the greater good cause so much pain and trouble, and yet the characters are still conflicted on whether those acts were worth it. This conflict drives the story to a fantastic conclusion. The dialog is great, the characters ring as real humans. This entire play is a masterpiece.

A play that reminds us that there are boundaries, and that some may still not understand it. It really puts you in Jess's position in a clever and insightful way.

A play that truly captures the relief and joy a lot of people felt, which is expressed in the characters. Short, but sweet and memorable.

An amazing narrative in the lives of five young women as they pursue hopes and dreams, while beset with constant challenges. The language the playwright constructs is stunning, and the characters come alive on each and every page. Even the stage directions are essential to this carefully crafted world.

The writer escalates the conflict so efficiently that it just builds up the comedy. Each cut is perfect in execution, and the sharp insight into the lives of these two is masterful. Well done!

An unexpectedly hopeful drama/romantic comedy. The playwright takes you on a real journey, filled with twists and turns, in a seemingly unassuming family story. But despite the narrative zig-zags, the play never loses its honesty. The characters are real, human, with flaws and virtues. Skillfully woven to a satisfying conclusion, this is a really great piece of theatre.

Anyone with a struggle to achieve a dream will relate to this. The characters are sharply drawn and the comedy comes fast and yet natural. Sometimes the funniest plays are the ones that ring the truest of truths.

Short and genuinely scary, this is a fun little play in the vein of the pulp magazine tales. The level of tension created by just two actors and a goldfish is amazing to see. Well done!
