Little Bear Ridge Road
by Samuel D. Hunter

"A jewel of a play… a singularly beautiful piece that shifts almost imperceptibly from acerbic comedy to searing pathos before an ending whose bleakness is broken by a slender but luminous beam of hope... This is a gorgeous play – unassuming and concise but emotionally expansive, attentive to its characters’ interior lives as much as their quotidian routines… Hunter’s work is deceptively modest… but its rewards are as immense as the Idaho night skies."

— Hollywood Reporter

"Mr. Hunter’s writing has a clarity, delicacy and crisp simplicity that allows us to watch as Sarah and Ethan negotiate the minefields of their relationship, drawing comfort from one another’s company even though both would be loath to admit it."

— Wall Street Journal

"A gorgeous new drama whose touching central relationship coexists with a larger exploration of the intimate and cosmic… The play is a multifaceted gem, exquisitely shaped and cut, that shines out from the simplest of settings."

— TimeOut NY

"An intimate Pacific-Northwest-set drama about lonely, struggling souls… It’s a hard-hitting, hard-laughing show that combines topics that you arrive at the theater not itching to confront – the COVID pandemic, meth addiction, health insurance, shift pay – into an absorbing story you leave wanting much more of."

— New York Post

"[A] keen-eyed, compassionate play… about the poisonous effects of social disconnection and the double-edged ideal of self-reliance… [Sarah] is also one of the funniest and most thoroughly human characters seen lately on a New York stage."

— The New York Times
