“ Soltero draws you into this darkly comic two hander set late at night in the office of a female politician, a "safe space"--or is it? Starting medias res in a film noir-like setting, he plays expertly with our expectations of the situation and our sympathies with the characters as they spar rhetorically with one another, their "sexual politricks" and manipulations mounting the tension. By the end, we're not sure who to like or dislike more as the play comes to its inevitable thudding conclusion. ”

“ Lovely. A purrfect exploration of grief and remembrance. Priskorn always manages to go straight to the heart of what's most important: dare to love. "Don’t worry about the emptiness in between." ”

“ BBC!? Hello? Suspenseful stage/screen/radio play by Rachel Feeny-Williams calling! The short version was twisty-turny entertainment but the full length weaves you in and out and up and down dark corridors until its satisfying deneument. Murder mystery "fun". ”

“ Thal's play immerses us in the multicultural frenzy and bustling commerce of 17th century Venice -- complete, unlike its "prequel" THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, with its canals! While drawing from Commedia dell'arte's situational comedy, the tale is steeped in tragicomedy as running beneath it all is the ever present lurid antisemitism of Shakespeare's play and the treatment of the character Shylock. Thal "fleshes" out this character, humanizes him and adds moments of levity including my favorite line: "The Inglés wish not to become Escocés. I have seen their plays and they would rather be Italianos." Quite a trip! ”
