    Ms. Cotter has written a deeply funny and moving play featuring characters not often seen onstage. This is a bold play with great parts for six actresses. It would be ideal for a resident company. Excellent work.

    Mr. Williams has written a fascinating play on what it means to exist on the fringes of society. He has a wonderful ear for dialogue and a great sense of that elusive thing called comic timing. Well done!

    This play is utterly brilliant. I was gobsmacked. And then I was gobsmacked again. Dratwa has written a thrilling piece of theatre. I cannot wait to see her work onstage.

    Poetic. Profound. Masterfully written. Magical. Inherently theatrical. It's writing that stays with you. Haunts you. A play for our time.
