I have heard several scenes from this play read and have been completely blown away by the barely-contained mania that pervades this story. The characters are so beautifully complex and flawed and they explode off of each other in the claustrophobic setting of the hotel room. Skura's dialogue is fast-paced and totally true to the situation she created. I truly enjoyed hearing a reading and look forward to a fully staged production!

I had the distinct pleasure to see this at the Working Title First Light reading and was completely enchanted by the blend of humor and sincere emotional connection the characters have with each other. I especially appreciated the range of emotion that the main characters experience throughout the play. Dooley captures authentic sibling relationships so beautifully! The story is both familiar and surprising, and would be an amazing choice for a huge range of theaters looking to expand their TYA seasons. Wonderful work!

This short play is a wonderful mix of weirdness and humor, and offers Lupo's distinct blend of fully committed characters and snappy fast-paced dialogue. Thank God it's Thursday, am I right?

I enjoyed hearing Riding Bicycles in the Rain tremendously at the Ethel Woolson Lab reading a few years ago. The dialogue is so well-paced and the humor is nuanced but strong within the context of the scenes. Would be a wonderful acting vehicle (HA! See what I did there?) for multi-generational casting as well as a truly enjoyable production for small, intimate spaces. Excellent work, Erin!

A conversation that feels very personal and REAL between two people struggling with the constraints of their faith, deftly weaving between their pain and humor towards each other and never feeling forced or heavy-handed. The ending feels earned and understandable. Very strong piece! Great 10-minute two-hander.

This play is a haunting study in the effusiveness of language, and the frustration that people who relate to the world with words feel when the words “don’t come.” A lovely, emotionally engaging piece about so much more than the words on the page. The evocative use of stage directions- the dropping of the loose leaf paper, gripping her hair- create a clear visual for the reader. Thank you!

I devoured this play- the characters are so compelling and well-crafted. Seeing the consequences of their choices play out is heartbreaking but ultimately so satisfying. I’m sorry I didn’t see it at Humana but I hope it will be produced in Atlanta at some point soon. It is an amazing showcase for actors! Thank you for this play!

-Entertaining and mentally engaging premise: Check!
-Fast-paced but emotionally authentic dialogue: Check!
-Plot development that is surprising but logical within the established rules of the universe: Check!

This play is a dynamic exploration of the "new horizons" of therapy in the final great unknown: solving the neurosis of the recently deceased. So well-crafted (as with everything I've seen/heard from Liz) and it's awesome! Excellent work!

To take a character that we all "think" we know and bring us back to the origins, shedding light and giving us a completely new perspective on the familiar is no easy task, but this excellent piece of theatre does just that. Medusa becomes a sympathetic, relatable character who feels contemporary and resonant.

Having heard selections from this play at Working Title, I think the subject matter is engaging and the relationships between the women are so strong and varied- just as relationships between REAL women in a tense workplace can be. While set in the 1950's, the subject matter feels so incredibly relevant to our current times as we confront destructive power dynamics in the art we all love so much. Wonderful work!
