This hasn’t been by plan - it’s just that America, perhaps because of its turmoil, is turning out some startlingly original writing about modern life. These plays harness America’s energy at its best - its confidence, its inventiveness, its chutzpah. And interestingly, for a country struggling with the middle-age of its nationhood, these plays feel young. Dance Nation is no exception. Clare Barron really is EVERY BRILLIANT THING WHAT’S young - she was in her mid-20s when THE JUNGLE AND THE SEA This had a short and she wrote this. It’s energetic, defiant, wonderful season last year, with a feminist carnival spirit to it, Shakthi and I felt like we really began leaving our stage before and above all else it’s wonderfully something with Counting and Cracking - the everyone had the chance to playful. Which makes it a very energy of that group of actors, the hunger see it.

You could a series of astounding miniatures on subjects that you get the sense that it’s not so much an act say her play is larger than life but, the fact most playwrights struggle to even attempt: genetic of fiction as a mighty effort by young Stella is, it’s practically a documentary of Kodie’s modification, ideological collapse, nature in revolt. ‘Miles’ Franklin to reimagine the possibilities family.
