    Seeing the connection between today and ancient Greece - excellent!! I have a play that takes place in ancient Ithaca, so I've been in that world and every word in Nora's play rings true or, I should say: TRUE! I love Socrates and his questions being questioned. I love the connection to the present. I love a story that mixes laughs with serious considerations. Brava!

    I love plays about everyday things, small things, things we don't usually think about much. But what fun when we do. Thank you, Jean. A box is not just a box anymore, but something to be pondered philosophically.

    Nothing like a big surprise in less than a minute to wake you up and get you thinking! Well done.

    "The Rose-Red City" is an absolute delight! Very funny. Very touching. Very well-written with excellent timing and rhythm as well as a keen-ear for long-time, loving spouses. Special kudos for a totally unexpected twist.

    Villanueva definitely knows how to bring a metaphor alive in a dramatic, enticing way! I fully appreciate the parallels between humans and insects. Choosing to delve into the murder hornet vs honey bee drama was genius. Seeing the women struggle to work together - as bees struggle for survival - as the world struggles with climate change - a very relatable and relevant play. I especially admire how the complex relationship between the long-time friends is drawn.

    Fun! Let your imagination fly (but not into a bug zapper)! My kind of play.

    Sweet and grisly - a delicious combination! Perfect audition piece for a youthful father.

    Ohmygod! Hysterical! It doesn't miss a beat. Scary fun and funny as heck! (Also a metaphor for the frantic throes of writing a script to schedule.)

    What a delight! Some things don't change with age, but some things do. The reality of moving in together in the last third of life involves a heck of a lot more than at an early age. There's no blind, youthful can-do nonsense to help carry the luggage accumulated in a lifetime. Even if you aren't blinded by a cat allergy, even if Viagra is happily involved -- that luggage is still massive. A heavy subject is given a laugh-filled spin!

    What a gorgeously ambiguous monologue! It both holds together and opens up a plethora of interpretations. A smart actor would revel in it, and thoroughly captivate audiences.
