The production at Victory Gardens in Chicago was a testament to the adaptability of theatre. Part Memory Play, part Family Drama, part History Lesson, and part Rock Concert, this is an unforgettable piece of theatre.

Strange, funny, and above all, honest, The Rut is a creative look at our inner demons and insecurities.

Brilliantly subversive, hilariously thought-provoking, this play doesn't dare let Mamet be it's only victim. A fascinating look at representation in the theatre, the burden of being a playwright, and the place writers like Mamet have in an ever-diversifying theatre world.

A chilling little horror story, that would be a perfect fit for a production around Halloween.

A chilling little play. Very effective.

Truly haunting. I haven't read something with this great a mix of beauty and gruesomeness since the first time I read the work of Sarah Kane. Only 3 pages long, but it sticks with you a great while longer.

As with DIRTY DIRTY, Gijsbers van Wijk shows her brilliance at taking potentially pulpy subject matter and turning it into intelligent, scintillating drama. A riff on DARE, this is a fantastic play about the many kinds of drugs, illicit or mental.

A fascinating look at metatheatrics and the mundanity of life, both humorous and thought-provoking.

A bitingly terse, but refreshingly honest look at the changing American family over the first decade of the new millennium. Filled with hilarious dialogue and haunting commentary on war, family, and fidelity.

A thoroughly captivating play. Enthralling and watchable without ever giving in to the crass or sophomoric aspects of it's subject matter. Gijsbers van Wijk creates thought-provoking dialogue about sex-positivity, the vagaries of consent, and the place porn has in a post-MeToo world.
