Provocative and very scarily possible to imagine the events Goldfinger writes about occurring. The play brings into question our ever-growing desire to create a perfect society and what would happen if we actually could. Told with a dark but simultaneously comedic and sympathetic tone, this play pushes all the right buttons.

What a gorgeous piece of work. An epic and beautiful play that incorporates magic realism alongside the mythos of the American West and mixes the poetic with the profane and surprises with every turn. Diaz-Marcano highlights characters that are seldom seen on stage and they are so so welcome here. I loved getting to spend time with each and every one of them.

A beautifully written piece that finds the conflict in and power of silence. Intricately layered and nuanced with very strong roles for women. The mystery that lies behind Jess' silence keeps the audience invested as does the emotional connection between sisters, friends, and strangers as well.

Sartre said that hell is other people - imagine if those other people were rock stars whose partying and destructive behavior led them to die at the same age, 27. Burdick takes this ingenious existential premise and imagines the conversations between some of the most notorious rockers of the past 50 years while simultaneously finding their humanity. A super creative, enjoyable, and thought-provoking one-act that entertains and inspires.

I saw this play in its production at Luna Stage and it was wonderful. Riveting, topical, fascinating, haunting...a story that needs to be told and Bader's command of the language and tension throughout is masterful. Wonderful roles for all three actors and very easy to produce. The audience was incredibly diverse and every person was on the edge of their seats and the discussion continued after the final curtain.

Fantastically thought provoking and manages to be both highly emotional and intellectual. I love a play that hits me on so many different levels and this piece does so beautifully. Three nuanced and heartbreakingly human characters dealing with the highly complicated and layered world of academia. Would love to see this produced.

This would be a FANTASTIC curtain opener/warmer for any evening of comedies (or anything for that matter) - heck, forego the curtain speech reminding people to turn off cell phones and unwrap candy and just do this instead! A meaty and hilarious piece for any actor to sink their teeth into and a delight for any audience who gets to watch.

Such a lovely play. In such a short amount of time it finds a way to surprise and delight the audience and, as one of the final stage directions states, you leave it feeling "all is well," which is how it should be.

Surprising and unexpected moments throughout starting with a surprising and unexpected approach to the subject matter. Hoke takes on rape culture and sexual objectification through the lens of comic books and superheroes and the resulting piece forces new perspectives and a very necessary reexamination of these important topics.

I LOVE this play! It checks off so many boxes - hysterical, provocative, witty, low brow and high brow humor, relevance, great dialogue, great characters, satirical... Antone's ability to tackle important subjects as reproductive rights, sexual expression, and gender equality (among others) in such an inventive and exciting way awes me. I would love to see this performed and hope that theatres everywhere will embrace this brilliant play.
