I love a good literary deviation, and this is a very good one. Clever, in ways that Wilde would appreciate, and with a sharp left turn when the seemingly inevitable is in sight. Excellent.

This brief peek into a political meeting could not be more timely. The cutthroat political operatives and purposefully bland candidates are sadly relevant, now as ever. A succinct and sobering look inside the machinations of an election.

Ryan Kaminski's "The Meadow" is a skillful, neat, and tidy mystery play with a twist worthy of Ellery Queen. Very satisfying to read and, I would imagine, to see on stage.

This play is like a dusty little suitcase full of nightmares. I can only imagine the epic tale to which this is only a brief snapshot, and yet this momentary glimpse into a dark and desolate realm is sufficient to arrest the attention of the audience.

An eccentric and excellent premise carried off to great effect. So entertaining. I can only imagine the fun that a cast and audience would have with this.

A riveting work, filled with mystery and aching with depth. "Your sum is different. Not less." This leapt off the page at me, as did the characters and the elegant, eloquent ending. Lovely.

Like any work of art, there are a few ways to look at this play. It's well-crafted and clever, sure, but it's also dense and layered. And the big reveal, when it comes, is something that I can only imagine as a living, breathing MOMENT that an audience will sit with and take home with them and keep forever. Lovely work.

For a monologue to be this raw and emotional and yet so simply stated and conversational is a feat of playwriting. Braverman's "Erstwhile" is as genuinely moving a one-man piece as I've ever read. Bravo.

Such lovely, lived-in dialogue in this play, letting us piece together the lives of the characters. Such a thoughtful, tender study of family life and the pain and inevitability of letting go. Bonus points for such effective use of the word "erstwhile."

A dark delight. The audience is in the much the same precarious state of mind as Veronica, and the end of the play, such as it is, weaponizes ambiguity. Very intriguing.
