    Stunning play. Handles sensitive issues really well. Doesn’t just blurt things out. Great dialogue and sophisticated subtext help to tell the story. You can’t help but feel for both characters. One slightly more than the other. Highly recommend for both reading and production.

    Seemingly different characters find they’re more alike than they thought. Great character work and brilliant dialogue. Really makes you think and feel. Highly recommend.

    Puns-a-plenty. Seriously, if puns are your thing this is the play for you. Funny and moving love story of female baseball players. Writing was succinct and expressive. A real hoot. Read, or better yet, produce this play!

    Fascinating play. Feels very “real”. The characters interactions with each other are believable and humorous. Loved the back and forth between them. Really deserves a production.

    A really stunning update of Shakespeare. The way she combines Shakespeare’s text with modern day millennial speak is truly theatrical, hilarious and thrilling. This would be tons of fun to produce.

    Stunning. Wonderful exploration of reality and the inner recesses of our mind. The rock star is an enigmatic character with a companion that creates a lot of mystery and suspense. A great rock and roll nightmare.

    Perfectly crafted absurdist piece that lovingly breaks the fourth wall. The play asks all the right questions with the characters exploring things from all angles. Thought provoking and intelligent. Great read!

    An extremely original take on reality and the power of the subconscious. Writing is very crisp and engaging. I really care about what happens to these characters and have a great deal of empathy for the protagonist. Excellent read!

    Very interesting characters with a lot in common. Even if one of them doesn’t see it. Very awkward exchange perfectly characterizing a teenage relationship. Writing is clear and sharp and fun to read!

    Very funny short play. Offers some interesting alternate takes on reality and the afterlife. Nice celebrity cameo at the end. Good read!
