  • 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.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Night Before

    A delightful spin on the pre-wedding jitters. The characters' friendship shines.

  • Samantha Marchant: AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES

    The tension and nuance in this script is so well crafted! Malakhov explores liberal racism and exclusion with precision and complex characters. I love the use of "and a half" scenes that give further insight.

  • Samantha Marchant: Pay Your Ferryman

    I love this! Equating Charon to an essential worker is so clever. The 'choose your own adventure' elements are well done. The world and character are built vividly so quickly. Would love to experience this in performance.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Value

    An engaging exploration of worth. Loved all the use of frames. Art, mirrors, windows, crime!

  • Samantha Marchant: Finger

    Vee grabbed my attention from the get-go and I would love to see her and the finger's story realized on stage.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Legend Of Snails

    A budding romance that's truly charming! The two women feel each other out in awkwardly adorable ways building to a sweet ending. Going on/giving more tours than there officially are is such a good idea for a meet/cute and idea for a play. Well done!
