    “ Intensely funny and darkly bizarre at turns. Quinn has written a superb two-hander about so much more than the danger of the Internet. ”
  • PEACHY: a sorta chekhovian traumedy by Jasmine Sharma
    28 Jul. 2023
    “ A gorgeous play on The Cherry Orchard — with a dollop of mint chutney, and a beautiful brown cast of characters! In a blend of timely Gen Z humor and insight into the 1962 miscegenation laws, Sharma has cooked up a truly touching and hilarious play. ”
