“ One minute of delightful – and excruciating – truth, beautifully done. ”

“ Expertly navigating shifting times, places, and emotions, William Triplett's STATES OF GRACE is a deeply moving, sharply observed work of art. Its richly drawn characters any actor would give their eye-teeth to play, as well as the scintillating dialogue they are given (beautifully crafted with marvelously graceful, efficient, and nearly invisible exposition) help make this another Triplett win, one I'd love to see staged and can highly recommend. ”

“ As enjoyable as plays are to read, they are meant to be performed; interpretations by a director and their cast are bound to differ from the preconceived notions that come from reading a work, and seeing Williams' THE SUGAR RIDGE RAG in performance at the Lab Theater Project recently revealed so many more levels to this touching story than are apparent on the page. A powerful piece of writing, the production pointed the way to what the script could be when performed – a heartbreaking, engrossing, and thought-provoking piece of theater. ”

“ Oh, the humanity of the sainted. The unvarnished, dirty little secrets of one exceptionally lauded nun in a third world country are exposed in this hilarious rumination from John Busser, here working with his usual rapid fire sense of humor intact but with deeper layers of meaning, layers that lift the piece into the realm of the seriously sublime. Every single word works on two or three levels at once, and the result is intoxicating. To say I love this play is an understatement; it may well be my favorite Busser work. So far. ”
