I recently had the great pleasure of reading and watching a production of "bloody noses." Matilda's writing is absolutely riveting. This play is vital punch to the face and a work I hope the theater community pays attention to.

Comedy Plus Time is hilariously funny and infused with heart and humanity. I love Matt Schatz's writing because it never fails to both move me and make me laugh. This play, like all of his plays, is clever, entertaining, and glass-explodingly surprising.

I love everything about this play. I admire the structure, layering of metaphor, and the complex struggle of the character. Such a fantastic piece of theater.

This is an excellent multi-generational play about family and all it's wonderful complications and contradictions. I loved every single page of it.

I was absolutely riveted reading this brilliant play. It is tense and funny and dramatic and moving. I wish I had the chance to see it during its recent run in NYC. I keep thinking about the line "Everything in this room is a weapon or a shield."

I found this play so moving. It reminded me to say the things that need to be said while the people I love are still alive. Mabelle created a beautiful short play packed with so much honest emotion. I love it.

This brilliant play is so damn funny.

I was quite moved by this family drama centered around a hospitalized mother after suffering a stroke. I kept thinking about how we are never prepared to deal with or accept the end of life, yet we know its inevitability. Tori writes about this beautifully with three siblings each needing and wanting similar things yet stuck in their own way. The irascible mother may have wanted life to end in her own particular way, but what she ultimately needed is likely what we all need: to have our closest people by our side.

I love this sweet, moving, and funny play!

I love how this play feels, how it sounds, how it moves... I badly want to be inside a Victorian home experiencing this great work in person.
