One of the best plays about race I've ever experienced. Gibbons doesn't cheat to convince you of a particular point of view. Instead he lets each character speak with equal strength, forcing the audience to make up their own minds, as the drama keeps escalating.

A great play that takes larger issues of race and our relationship with history, and processes them through a story of human relationships. The political arguments are vibrant and alive. The weaving of present and past is done artfully.

A lovely little piece about how different kinds of people react to an impossible, inexplicable phenomenon.

I produced it in 2013, and it was a joy to work on. Lindsay takes a real fact (that the Beatles commissioned and then rejected Orton's screenplay) and makes it about much more than just "hey look at these two historical figures". It's about art and entertainment (and whether there's a difference). It's about the social forces of the 1960s, and the changing landscapes for women and gay men. It's about police brutality. It's about the search for connection, and how fame complicates it. All plus a "villain" who's downright Ortonesque.

Two stubborn old men with very different approaches to faith have to work together for a larger purpose. Set up almost as a vaudeville double-act, but with bullet ricochets instead of rim-shots. Very funny, and very moving at the end.

Absolutely hilarious, great songs, and far more depth than most people would be able to manage in a musical about farting.
All the more astonishing that book, music and lyrics all came from one man, and all three legs hold their own. The next time I'm asked to pitch a small-scale musical to direct, this will be on top of my list. This deserves to be at medium theatres all over the place.

Great fun. Fast-paced theatricality. The satire zips along like a stone skipping across a lake, but the ripples remain to tickle your brain about the issues Rozin throws into the mix.

A hilarious, powerful piece of theatre. The world premiere was one of the best productions I saw all year. Gleefully anachronistic. Unapologetically takes one of our Founding Mothers and gives her a balanced but unflinching look at our history of slavery. And to cover all of that ground, with a cast that's >50% women, and almost entirely African American, is wonderful.

Inspired by real utopian societies, "Silverhill" is a gripping period piece. Communism vs. capitalism, monogamy in the face of enforced polyamory, younger vs. older. A community far removed from us today, yet Gibbons is talking about issues and forces (religion, commerce) that affect us today. And it explores a philosophy that's an equally valid counterpoint to the "Prosperity Gospel" that's popular today.
It's on my "bucket list" of projects to direct in the future.

Thought-provoking and sharp. Gibbons uses artificial intelligence to ask questions about what makes us human, and what might our humanity look like in the future.
