“ An amazing play that works as both a coming-of-age tale and a coming-of-aging story. Over the course of several decades the title character and those around him are still trying to figure out who they are. I particularly love the way Doug DeVita shows the characters at different ages on stage at the same time, as if to say that we never really leave the past behind.
Extraordinary. ”

“ That whole business about "Thou Shalt Not Kill" gets an early and brutal test when a Viking vampire attacks a Medieval English church. This short play has great tension, horror and blood (so much blood!) but it's the exploration of that early concept of sin that makes "Barbarian" linger in your mind long after it ends. How did early Christians reconcile Jesus' teachings with a dangerous and brutal world?
Read and produce this play. Audiences need to be challenged with it. ”

“ I think it's safe to say no one will ever fall asleep — or eat — on a train again after watching Rachael Carnes' wonderfully absurd and (for one audience member, anyway) cringey short play about the nature of existence and where the hell you find tzaziki sauce. Read this play, produce it and for the love of all that is good in the world, don't wipe your greasy hands on the upholstery. ”

“ Robin Berl gives us a powerful meditation on grief, fear and coping in this domestic two-hander that isn't REALLY about how to fold a fitted sheet (but still kind of is). An excellent short play that would be a cinch to stage. ”
