Start Swimming

Exciting, daring work from a group of young auteurs. It’s great to see people taking risks and doing theatrey theatre instead of settling for the safe known quantity.

Brilliant, charming, and hilarious. Jonathan is a terrific entertainer who engages in a deeply uncomfortable piece of popular history in a manner that is thoughtful and thought-provoking while still being terrifically funny.

Transference

nikki muller · June 17, 2019 certified reviewer
A wonderful showcase of two brilliant actors whose sharp writing keeps the audience deeply engaged without any flashy tactics. As sad as it is that I have to say this, it's exceptionally refreshing to see such a nuanced script written for two women by a man. Both characters are so well-developed and feel so real. Intense but funny, and entirely engrossing.... full review
