"these are the consequences of caring"
Within a gristly premise, Timms finds an altogether different kind of 'visceral' sensation -- the gory action and the intimately tender reflection of longing, self-destructive desire, and passion (in both the romantic and Biblical sense). It's beautiful in its deceptive depth and its straightforward audacity. A bloody, beautiful gem.

A smart, grounded snapshot of early pandemic existence, and an insightful exploration of the artistic desire to create when the world is on fire. Harris meets every character on their own terms, human or otherwise, and every perspective is as sharply developed as can be. Timely and engaging!

A guttingly human look at the high cost of trying to live. Immediate, powerful, and achingly human. highly recommended.

Absolutely stellar -- an exorcism of the contradictory identity of the American South, told with heart and sincerity. Utterly spellbinding and achingly human. A family play that actually feels relevant and insightful for a change.

This is a fascinating artifact of life in the pandemic, encapsulating the inevitable doom we all felt creeping in, rendered with humanity and warmth. Smith writes with the specificity and clarity of someone who really just might know what the future holds, or at the very least knows how people will react.

This play is fantastic! A fascinating deep dive into familial trauma and the fundamental horror of trying to know other people. Fox has such a knack for instantly recognizable and humane characters, and her seamless balance between family drama and the supernatural is incredible.

This play is gorgeous. Menke dives into three distinct psyches and, without a stage direction in sight, plumbs the depths of the human mind. Self-loathing, dreams deferred, and the death of innocence are all covered with humanity and clarity. This play is like an ancient cathedral -- intricate, somewhat timeless, and awe-inspiring.

This play burns like a lit torch -- a beacon in the night of modern american theatre. Mahrer zeroes in on so many truths about youth in America, femininity, the paralysis of faith, the hell that is rape culture, and the awful systems that ensnare young people through no fault of their own. A home run of a play.

Finally! A stage play about giant mechs! Quant's boundless imagination leaps off the page at every turn. This is a script full of hidden depth and complexity, all wrapped up in a kick-ass sci-fi package.

A wonderful, focused ten-minute play about dreams and getting old. Heartfelt and sincere, every emotional aspect of this script is stirring and immaculately-done.
