    This play is an evergreen. It is a terrifically fun ride. Greg and Kristi are keepers.

    What a terrific play. Layers and nuances not often seen in a ten minute piece. It will make you think about the assumptions we have and distinctions we make between aliens and humans in so many contexts.

    This piece updates a myth and allows you to see nuances and complications you might easily have overlooked in school. It's also a word fest that is an absolute delight for the ear.

    Plus, it's hilarious.

    What a rich, vibrant world, artfully realized. This play doesn't just take on the "issue" of workplace violence, although there is nothing wrong with that. It searches our souls at work where so much of life happens.

    From the opening that captures the chaos of the aftermath to the powerful ending focused on Danielle, there are many well earned surprises. We rocket through the absurd to the surreal to the theater of cruelty. When Ed ends an encomium to the victims with "Danielle, who is, of course, a whore." I almost leapt out of my chair. Excellent stuff.

    What a powerful and unique piece of work. It allows its female characters to delve into darkness without pulling any punches.

    Delightful. This is an original play.

    Madeleines proves that writing can be warm and incisive at the same time. Lovely to listen to.

    Empathy and craft meet in this wonderful. truthful play. It speaks to something larger than eating disorders. It has something to say about the American soul.

    Powerful revenge piece with elements of wit and genre bending.
  • Icebox Placenta (a monologue for women)

    The character's inability to let go of the placenta or bury it, after all there are many, many parks in NYC. So touching. Love the way it shesd light on how we relate to our bodies and birth. Lovely.

    Danielle's quest is deeply engaging and hits all the right notes. This is not a dark comedy that exploits its subject. It ennobles the characters and its audience. Simply amazing writing and more than that compassion for humanity and its plights.
