  • Liana Irvine: Pearl Dust from a Gun by Esmé Maria Ng
    “

    Esme Marie Ng writes with dexterity and unapology. Working with Ng on this piece was a joy -- with a sense of play, studiousness, and refinement in each meeting. Over our time together, my perceptions of PEARL DUST FROM A GUN's themes grew. Some that currently stick with me are: a private family story turned public, gaze on the individual by media/press/advertisement, incarceration and collectivism/mutual aid being in conversation with one another (as demonstrated by one family).

    Eliana knows how to write young women with whole personhoods! It is so much fun to watch these characters navigate power, identify, and white fathers.

    June 2022: This writer uses suspense, intrigue, and doubt in a deft way that makes you really consider the lines of care, exploitation, and manipulation. The juiciness of this play, makes me use this play as a model for other plays dealing with agency and consent.

    What happens when someone works too hard? What happens when that work clings like a ghost? What happens if everything haunts them? These are the questions that stick like an echo from the past. On every page of Keller's Apparitions, day-to-day survival is visible.
