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.

With “Light Switch” Osmundsen has created one of the great central characters of contemporary theater in a beautifully written story existing at the intersection of neurodiversity and queerness. The play is a classic example of the specific being universal. What defines us as individuals differs in the details, yet we are all after the same things in life. Just like the main character Henry, we all seek love. I highly recommend this play for theaters with young ensembles and for people interested in sitting down to read a fantastic play that will entertain and move them.

I love this play. It's so well crafted, written in a completely authentic voice, and quite moving.

I love this play.

I love Daisy Violet the Bitch Beast King. This play, to me, is about repression, rebellion, agency, and trauma. I found it darkly hilarious and quite moving.
