    Expertly navigates the experience of refugees across cultures. Smart, funny, scary, sad, urgent... thank you for this poignant examination of humans seeking a new world and a better life.

    The desert serves as a beautiful, scorched backdrop for this play that deals with haunting violence. The threat of violence within a couple's marriage, the violence of war still raging inside the mind of a veteran, and the comfort and playfulness of the protagonist's job working with children in a library all work together to explore complex relationships.

    I really dig this play. Complex characters and the intimacy of their lives in an updated Our Town-like structure.

    This is powerful, bold writing. The scenes and monologues are written with a truth and ownership of the narrative that skillfully gives voice to so many of our lived experiences.

    All three of these short plays deal with estrangement and loss in intelligent, clever ways. The fairy-tale aspect in the second half of Mentirosa is beautifully evocative. Doctors Without Borders has a finely executed structure that is matched by the emotional twists & turns in the play. Unique, specific characters throughout the whole of Brothers, Sisters, Santos.

    All We Know is Not Enough moves fluidly between worlds, in and out of realities, with great pacing, dialogue, and characters.

    Touching, smart, funny, and all in ten minutes. Bruce Walsh's grown-ass play shows the type of craft and command of storytelling and that makes me want to be a better writer.

    Hannah Langley has a gift for writing female protagonists who are strong, soft, determined, flawed, funny, scared — human. This play perfectly captures what can happen when a split-second decision alters lives. Great for young adult audiences.
