'Til Death
by Alexis Scheer

"Viscerally effective… there’s a core human story here – about the choices, risks, and sacrifices that go into making up a meaningful life, and who pays the cost of one person’s choices – and there’s a core debate of ideas, too – about the function and purpose of journalism in the 21st century."

"[An] ode to war correspondents who risk their lives to tell the general public about the horrors in conflict zones… [the play] has a lot of interesting things on its mind, mostly about mothers who are single-minded in their ambition and their children who are left abandoned in their absence."

— Theatermania

"Shrapnel-sharp dialogue… Scheer embeds the action with all sorts of explosive dramatic devices… Scheer also stages some lively debates… and, bringing the action right up to the minute, the characters seriously discuss the possibility of a US civil war."

— Lighting & Sound America

"Scheer does open an intriguing line of inquiry, as Marina, accepting her award, questions the values behind a model of journalism that valorizes danger to journalists."

— The New York Times

"Ambitiously weaves tonal disparities among the plot threads, and these draw attention to the apparent psychic disconnects Marina encounters."
