'A writer of questing imagination and convention-bending technique' * New York Times * 'Washburn has established herself as one of the most formally innovative playwrights working today' * Guardian * 'Washburn is not your ordinary playwright… [her] witty, surprising language makes you laugh in self-recognition, then gasp at a turn into poetic intensity.
