    A really interesting reframe of the myth. It definitely doesn’t hit you over the head with comparisons, which was unique and refreshing. This piece is very relationship-focused, which breathed new life into the story.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: angel's share

    A crushing and gorgeous story that is somehow both intimate and exploratory. A rare sci-fi play in which worldbuilding never takes anything away from relationships, and only adds to the humanity of the piece.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: Free & Proud

    This ACHES. It’s such a good story, paced perfectly, told beautifully and at a breakneck pace. The characters are rich and deliberate; by the time you figure them out, it feels too late - which is just how the characters must feel about each other. Stunning.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: Nightwatch

    Gorgeous and piercing. Goes straight to the emotional quick. One of the most economical uses of language to cover such a sprawling and difficult range of topics that I’ve ever seen.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: In The Dream I Was A Werewolf

    This exploration of family, hunger, and loss is as biting as it is tender. Especially toward the end, there is some beautifully haunting imagery that I’d love to see staged.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: Kill the Bird

    A layered paper shadowbox of a play in which grief is the very center. New, interesting, and creative elements revealed themselves with every shift of light. I found myself surprised-pleased and surprised-horrified. If you like the way The Moors used animals to unearth the most compelling parts of humanity, you’ll like this play.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: the water grey, reflecting the sky

    I really enjoyed this piece. Every description of setting, character, and relationship was evocative, and the narrative was really well-paced, especially for such a short piece where so much happens. I really love the tone/almost haze? surrounding this play.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: Be The Bacchae: an Interactive Drunken Tragedy

    This play is SO much fun! I simply MUST be present in the next bar where this is performed. An adaptation that preserves the content and discourse of the original while also promoting the fun, creative spirit of the deity.

  • Lana Scott Stringer: XOXOLOLA

    This play about the consumption of the female body delicately balances discovery and exploitation. The tonal shift is marked and magnificent. The characters are empathetic and complex. An incredible ending. I really enjoyed this work and look forward to reading more from this playwright!
