“ This is a 10 that keeps you on your toes -- full of conflict, a down-to-earth (literally!) sibling rivalry, theatrical use of props and a set of turns that will have you gasping. Would love to see this on its feet! ”

“ So much is conveyed between the lines in this lovely duo of overlapping monologues. Each monologue would be gorgeous by itself; but, woven together, they magnify each other. Laid out through precise, poetic detail, the story leads us to feel for a woman whom the whims and injustices of a patriarchal society have left completely isolated. If only we could say these whims and injustices were a thing of the nineteenth-century past. ”

“ Another Beardsley satire that manages to be simultaneously both funny and awful (my favorite combination!) Distinct characters with big personalities and life-and-death wants -- who happen to be dinosaurs -- cannot manage to get their acts together long enough to stave off the inevitable. This play should leave you worried about our own, post-Jurassic era (who will be the dinosaurs, and who, if anyone, the cockroaches?) Consider it for your short play festival centering on on climate change/political satire/or just plain old comedy - it hits all the marks. ”

“ By turns horrifying, violent, funny and moving, HOMESTAR is about a mother who makes a reluctant investigation of her child's hate-crime murder. More fundamentally, it's about that mother coming to terms with her failure to care for the person her child became, because that person was not the child she wanted. In the course of her Las Vegas journey, Nan must confront her own failures to love unconditionally -- not just her murdered transgendered daughter, but also her mentally challenged sister, and, ultimately herself. I dare you to experience her transformation at the end and not weep outright. Highly recommended. ”
