If you enjoyed the out-of-this-world-meets-real-world aspect of Priscilla Dreams the Answer from the same playwright, you will enjoy Paper City Phoenix. Dark comedy that is silly but also serious with its exploration of grief in a virtual-meets-reality landscape. Surprising images on almost every page.

A play that cuts deep emotionally and intellectually. The difference between authenticity and fake in respects to faith is examined, as well as belief versus hope, reason versus craziness. The playwright cuts deep into these characters like a butcher with a knife. Characters that I haven't seen on the page and stage are brought together in this satisfying play.

A touching play on the difficulty of moving on after losing so much. The conflict between mother and daughter intensifies with raw emotion, totally believable. A great play for female actors. Check it out, while I check out the other plays by Oliveira...

A powerful play on torture and suppression of human rights under a totalitarian regime. If you enjoy Brecht's plays, Pinter's Mountain Language, and Martin McDonagh's Pillowman, you should find this play just as riveting as the works by those masters. Bravo. PRODUCE THIS PLAY!

I had the opportunity of seeing this enchanting play at Mixed Blood. I left the theatre hoping to fall in love like the man and woman, but realizing love can be lost for numerous reasons and distance can separate you from the person you long for your entire life. The play made me think about two virtues essential in human beings: patience and faith. Read it, perform it, or demand to see it.

The play Life Lines addresses something universal about the mourning process: the mourner's searching for answers through the love one's belongings. What is special about this play is how the writer handles the mental process of the mother and theatricalizes that -- externalizing what is internal and making that relatable. Painful and intimate scenario. I can definitely relate to the mother and I'm not a mother. A great play for competition. Bravo.

Trust, discretion, shame and the transaction of romantic/erotic relationship is examined brilliantly by this playwright. With brutal honesty it showcases dishonesty, and in doing so raises important questions... If we're open about what we want and what we want from other people, if we're honest about our needs and desires, without shame, is that the brilliant way to live a satisfying life? It's so easy to judge Abby, but think about it, there's a sugar baby in each of us.

I had the pleasure of seeing this produced by Mixed Blood in 2016. Never seen this type of character on a stage before, a teenager on the autism spectrum. Can you think of a play that has such a character? If you can't, then this should be the play you read. Its structure, with use of illustrations, journal writings and the episodic journey, allows for us to sympathize with her. Sometimes I saw the world through her eyes. The play also makes you think about how you're perceived and how you perceive the world differently than other people.

Super short, but it's memorable because of its idea and its dialog based on texting. Read it and you'll know what I mean. Wow. Charming little play. (It's so smart in its execution that I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires other playwrights in longer works.)

Szekeresh's dialog is snappy, but it's also deep, insightful, painful, funny. Ana's super wasted, she doesn't need another drink for brunch, but what about dinner? I'd love to see her again! I'll definitely check out Szekeresk's other plays..
