    A powerful offering with multiple ways to stage or read the play provided. With writing that takes the reader into the moment, into the people and the place viscerally.

  • Kristen Palmer: The Forest

    What a beautiful play, economically structured - each image, character and element adding to a resonant whole. So good.

    a play with its own gravity that pulls you in and keeps you there as there gets creepier and creepier. such a great read!

  • Kristen Palmer: The Venetians

    This play gives me goosebumps with its brilliance and spiraling plot that brings so much around in its whirl. On the lookout for its full stunning production...

  • Kristen Palmer: Lyons Den

    A play that drags you into the layers and complexities of this family and this place and you find yourself looking under the bed, going through their drawers with a giddy sense of transgression and truth seeking -as you're pulled further into their world. The sharply observed language, the wicked humor, the drama! So good.

  • Kristen Palmer: The Candidate

    This is an exciting play, pulling us into the character of an idealistic (white, male) politician of this current moment and complicating his intentions with smart writing, and a powerful dramatic ride.

  • Kristen Palmer: Babel

    A deft delve into the world of what parents (and society) can and can't control in our children. A play that takes the simmering ideas of who is deserving and thrusts them into an end-game where children are tested in utero for 'pre-certification' or a pass into free society. By focusing tightly on two expectant couples and a smart sci-fi frame, this play becomes a lively, engaging, theatrical exploration of genetic testing and the limits of 'safety.' It jumps off the page, timely, relevant and ready for production.

    What a great read - complicated, real, sad, and human.

  • Kristen Palmer: Buccaneers

    I produced this play at Oddfellows Playhouse with a cast of young actors. It was thrilling for the actors and the audiences alike - a play about the perils of leadership told through a terrific pirate story with sea shanties, adventure and powerful girls.

    This play is so sharp. I got to hear it read recently and it soared off the page and into my head. It's a wonderful play for the moment - and puts the male canon firmly into the hands of the too long over looked women of its era - with the revolution rumbling just outside the door.
