“ A human, aching, intimate look at a mind in a moment of crisis. Mahrer has such a gentle insight that this play's true depth sneaks up on you, coaxing you into Sarah's point of view like a glove slipping onto your hand. This is a story about art and artists that doesn't preach or pat itself on the back, but takes a hard look at what it means to be in charge of one's own happiness. ”

“ This is the kind of play that sticks in your head for days and makes you furious you didn't find it sooner. A magical look at the forces in our world that might themselves be yearning for more, and the fundamental way that empathy and emotion can change the world, wyrd is a romantic, heartbreaking, and overall thrilling theatrical achievement that dares to make the abject nature of reality and the mortifying ordeal of being known into one of the most layered scripts in recent memory. ”

“ Beautiful and striking in its composition, Refuge combines painterly landscapes and brutal depictions of the struggles for survival at the border, creating an achingly human story that offers no easy answers or empty optimism, but still succeeds in soaring into sublime emotional peaks and valleys. It's theatrical in the best sense of the word, and the kind of immediate, important and imaginative storytelling the American theatre needs more of to evolve. ”

“ A pure and open-handed look at a single soul under incredible duress, Brisé is an extremely human story beautifully and theatrically told. August is pulling at some truly terrifying concepts of the loss of self, fear of dying, personal identity, family secrets, and the agony of being known here, but the existential terror never overtakes the yearning and humanity of the story's single actor. A delicate balance of heartbreak and hope. ”
