  • Samantha Marchant: Ripped by Rachel Bublitz
    “

    Bublitz crafts an impeccable, crucial structure to tell this story. The use of the dress is outstanding - it tells us about time and so much about character. A truly thought-provoking piece on consent and rape culture, people should see it.

    The description of remembering how high school friends feel like family hooked me in. This script delivered and gave so much more. It slices in and gives us a close look with such compassion. The songs have great lyrics that tie down moments and then transition beautifully. Great work!

    Transporting. The language packs so much emotion and energy. It captures what it's like to be a kid in a dying town and to think what is the past and what is the future?

    Well done! Such immediacy. I could see and smell that pie even though I was only reading it. The pie is the perfect frame for this heart wrenching, complex story.

    “

    The use of the chorus in this script is extremely effective. The repetition and reversals in language add a sense of heighten theatricality. The piece moves beautifully like a score. It is a world created to dwell in and ponder questions of gender, roles and names.

    Vivid, bizarre and funny. Hooked from the first scene and absorbed until the end. Each of the characters is really something special.
