Heaven (Qtopia) ★★★½
Heaven is a later-in-life tale of self-discovery firmly rooted in character.

I & You (Belvoir 25a) ★★★½
It’s the most YA of YA plots—you could probably rename Lauren Gunderson’s 2014 teen romance I and You something like The Fault in Our Star Turtles (you’ll get it when you see the show).
-
Happy Days (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Happy Days is a reminder to address the elephants in the room—before it’s too late.
-
The Wrong Gods (Belvoir) ★★★½
For all the small-scale human specificity in The Wrong Gods, it manages to speak to the state of the world in expansive ways.
-
Abigail Williams (HERStory Arts Festival) ★★★★
Terrific script, terrific staging, and a powerful performance. Abigail Williams is well worth exploring.
-
Posh (Old Fitz) ★★★★½
Posh at the Old Fitz is great writing brought to life on stage. It may be a bit cramped in there, but it’s worth it.

This is a voice I want to hear more from.

Dear Elena Sergeevna (Old Fitz) ★★★★
Dear Elena Sergeevna puts the focus on the actors to bring this 80s Russian moral drama to the small stage. It’s thrilling.
