This well constructed play reinterprets the Faust legend with a surprising (and to me delightful) twist on the ending. It may be time for some of us to reconsider deals with the devil. Scary, fun and very producible.

This is a haunting, beautiful, quiet play about the burden of gun violence on the survivors, and the burden of being a twin. I would love to see a full production.

The impact of this quiet play really sneaks up on you. The dialogue is so realistic that you feel like you're overhearing an everyday conversation between acquaintances from the next table. And then comes the small but powerful twist at the end, when you realize where this has all been going and the fact that both characters are going there, and what it all means for their relationships with each other with and a third person ... great stuff.

Take Me Home is a impactful play about so much in so little time, its power amplified by its economy. I hope it sees many more productions (and that I get to see one of them).

What seems at first to be a small story full of small details suddenly adds up to a lot. Repeatedly, I felt like the story was going to go down a variety of well-trodden paths, but it never did, remaining resolutely its own unique self. This play is beautifully conceived and constructed, and one I'll be thinking about for a long time.

This is a play that is both heartbreaking and uplifting, sad and funny, despondent and hopeful, a play with great emotion, wit, and charm. Read it and, if you are so situated, produce it.

A terrific, terrifically dark comedy for anybody who's ever had their food stolen from a communal refrigerator ... as well as everyone else. Who knew vigilante justice in the company breakroom could be this much fun?

As absorbing as it is terrifying, this short will have you on the edge of your seat until the heartbreaking ending. I'd love to see it staged.

A thrilling play about being adventurous, being dangerous, and being yourself in a world where everyone else plays it safe. Allie is a powerful metaphor for artists and anyone else who risks it all because it's the only way they know to be. I can't wait for "it" to come back either.

I just loved this play, with its theme repeating, always the same, but always different, absurd and profound in equal measure and always, always funny. I would love to see a production.
