This play is a gem and a darling to watch. Extremely fun for actors to just take it and run with it. This is one of my favorites from John. His imagination and his sharp writing is something to behold. I and many others said we would love to see this as a larger piece - this is a zany world we would love to hang around in for a while. Bravo and well-done!

This is a beautiful work that I would enjoy seeing fully realized. The language is haunting and characters are very original. Extremely poetic in its presentation as it asks tough questions.

This play is beautiful in its poetic language and its unflinching look at a white woman and a black woman placed as sisters, taking them through their lives. The authors have created a piece that causes us to consider our nation and its heritage rooted in slavery, and women’s place in it. A wonderful blending of two playwrights and their writing to create something exceptional. A piece that will stay with the audience after it’s finished.

There is so much symbolism and layers to unpack with the witches, what food represents, how women are kept from work and thus starved, and how women must be each other's saviors. Gorgeous with wonderful roles for women in it. There is a lot of potential for creativity in the artistic production of the work. Stephanie has, once again, made something incredibly unique and rich, both timeless in its feel but timely in theme.

What a beautiful play. Adam has taken a moment between a married couple nearing the end of the husband’s life and expertly captured the raw emotion and circular conversation of someone with dementia/memory issues. The actors for this will find a lot of subtext and underlying emotion to work with in between the lines. This one will stay with me for a long time.

I'm so glad John Bavoso was covered by Unknown Playwrights. He has got a sharp, snappy sense of humor and is able to deliver some fantastic lines. I was crying - there are so many amazing one-liners in just 8 pages. And even though it's a comedy, there is such a big commentary on so many other things, including religion and relationships. This is a writer everyone needs to know.

I desperately want be in the audience for a performance of this work. Absolutely different and challenging, this work places the audience as a central force, rather than passive spectator. Caridad Svich has created something that feels breathing and alive in the moment, but also timeless in its themes. Brilliant.

The character voices in this play were written so distinctly I could hear them crisply as I read. This is a beautiful play that captures the feeling of homecoming and reviewing one’s life through the optimistic lens of youth. Great roles for women 50 and older. Allyson Currin is able to craft interesting and authentic characters and I look forward to reading more.

Saw this breath taking work in Kansas City. Sharp and inventive, it asks questions of the morality of experimentation and autonomy. A perfect sci-fi thriller, masterfully done, with fantastic roles for women.

Emily Hageman has captured something that is frequently experienced, but rarely talked about. The dialogue is realistic and true, and the characters are sharp and strongly conceived. A beautiful short play that captures the difficulty of marriage in the face of infertility and child loss.
