Press Reviews

"A work of rare lyricism.” —The New York Times. ”Focused, sharp, powerful…These plays might start out with a breath, but they're good enough to take yours away.“ —Oregonian. ”These are spiritual works that thrum with vitality, whether it's joyous or melancholy, told in vigorous language that artfully folds together slangy vernacular with bursts of haunting poetry."
