  • Samantha Marchant: Theatre: A Love Story

    I had the pleasure of catching a stream of Know Theatre's production of this awesome script. I appreciate how money, access and telling stories around a camp fire were addressed. It all stirred up so many feelings. Highly recommend!

  • Samantha Marchant: I Wanna Fuck like Romeo and Juliet

    What a great title! And this script delivers so much beyond that too. I love the layers as we watch the two lovers in NJ and the two Gods being epic and then there is Betti, the sweetest icing on the cake. Love and realness - well done.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Deal - 10 Minute Play

    The first page sets up the mystery/thriller tone with the music, dancing and costumes and it makes you want to tune in to what's the come. Love seeing a trickster tricked!

  • Samantha Marchant: For Leonora, or, Companions

    This is an absolutely fantastic script! St. James drawing from the two Leonora Carrington paintings felt effortless and perfect and just the beginning of all the great things about this play. Reading it, I felt transported and grounded. I fell in love with the characters, human and puppet.

  • Samantha Marchant: Today Is My Birthday

    I watched Theater Mu's streaming production (2021) and felt like so much great stuff was packed into those two hours that whizzed by. We got to know each of the characters and their relationships intimately even though we saw them interact indirectly using technology. The moment of turning 30 seems perfectly captured. Wonderful script!

  • Samantha Marchant: Martin's Treehouse

    The imagination in this play is great! It invites fun, exploring, coping. This two-hander employs a bunch of fantastic sets that will be a designer's dream.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Mourner

    A skilled reimagining of Antigone. The comparisons are there but this script goes above and beyond bringing the story to today with issues of prejudice, terrorism, grief and family. The characters are all wonderfully developed and Terry adds some great comedic moments. Highly recommend!

  • Samantha Marchant: Alcott

    Layers and layers on finding yourself, love and art. The time and people Szymkowicz writes fell so real even when they are spoofs. Violet's monologue near the end is so so good! Would love to see this all female cast script on stage.

  • Samantha Marchant: Helsaga

    A wonderful retelling of a myth. Weeks plays with all sorts of ways of communicating- talking, singing, prophecy, dreams, nonverbal - as the script explores family, life, death and fate.

  • Samantha Marchant: Goodnight Embryos

    An engaging two hander. The characters on and off stage are well developed. The use of the letter coming every year was a great device to ground us in time and push the plot forward.
