There are parts of this conversation that will probably sound familiar to any long-term couple, but even if there aren't, the play is still wildly entertaining.

Diana Burbano's voice is mesmerizing--lyrical, densely intelligent, precise--as is the visualization of the beautiful imagery she creates to contrast this tragic story. One can only imagine it in production, but what a production it would be!

Oh man, I love this! Everybody who's been in a long-term relationship knows that just because you're in a fancy hotel room, you don't become other people. The deconstruction of that elusive fantasy, and the realism that pervades, make this piece a delight. And the end is exactly what it needs to be without going over the top. Lovely.

Imaginative theatricality, poetry, and theme-blending that nails the ending, the trickiest part. Bravo! Full of impossible-to-stage stage directions that make me yearn for the magic.

If you've forgotten what it's like to begin reading a new play with no expectations and suddenly be blown away by the beauty, magic, craft, humanity, and love that you wish every new play could be, then read this play. Now. I read it this morning and have already told at least five people about it, and I won't stop.

Funny, heartbreaking, thought-provoking--Monica Lewinsky's story in creative, historic, untold detail. To read this now creates so many layers to the narrative, and pulling Monica from history to tell this story to the world is brilliant.

Everybody loves a good dysfunctional family comedy, but not every one serves up sidesplitting humor with plum roles for women (including four for women of a certain age) as this one does. Must be heard to be appreciated!

What happens when your deepest held belief becomes shockingly, suddenly in mortal conflict with your deepest held feelings about another human being? Through this entire play, I kept saying to myself "I would never want to have to confront this situation... but what if I did?" And with her trademark realistic and on-point dialogue, Walker lures you unwittingly until you're in the middle of it--uncomfortable, afraid, and without answers. Bang.

A powerhouse play with four great leads for women who get to spew sharp, smart, rapid-fire hilarity from the absurdist mine that is Ian August's brain! More than that, they get to deliver commentary on job competition in today's economy, and the perils of women not supporting women.

What a pleasure to spend time with these five wonderful women! When all we know of the past are the things we feel are best left behind, we reduce those times to labels and worst case scenarios that overshadow the moments and love that make up lives. With humor and poignancy, THE GREEN BOOK... reminds us that there's always a little something sacrificed for progress, a bit of cognitive dissonance in keeping with a play about time travel.
