“ "I am empty of words which is why I’m holding this big ass weapon."

These words to the heart of a problem that we must reckon with as a country. The catalyst for this play and the situation may have been Hurricane Maria, but the build up is centuries old. Diaz-Marcano creates a play that goes beyond the political and touches the deeply human. At its center is love. A wounded love, but love nevertheless. It's the lashing out of the desperate and suffering. A marvelous play that bears reading and discussion, no matter how uncomfortable that conversation. ”

“ A monologue that captures the inner turmoil of a young woman facing a problem so many in rural and impoverished America face. It questions the price of finally escaping the small town life. It stares at the dangers and realities and asks an honest question that too few people who are in relationships with those serving, would dare to ask in public. Asher Wyndham approaches that question and finds an artful way of posing the question. A great and arresting monologue. ”

“ I love how Weaver is able to weave in the moments we can only speculate on in the lives of the Calpurnia and Mark Antony. You see subtle references to Shakespeare and the Greeks and learn a little more of the history culminating in Caesar's assassination. I especially enjoyed how Matthew was able to place Calpurnia in a place of feeling forgotten but still is attributed in this play to have given the key to Antony's speech to the Romans citizenry in Shakespeare's play. It shows how wrong she is not just through telling but through show. Marvelous short play. ”

“ An unsettling play whose plea is as immediate to us as it was to the characters int his piece. Bublitz explores fear, bravery, and the most pressing matter facing all of humanity in our very near future. There is so much drama packed into so few pages, and like the aftermath of a violent storm, one is only left in quiet and reflection at what has passed and what is yet to come. A very moving and relevant play. ”
