Thank you to everyone who came out to support the world premiere of The Bed Trick at Seattle Shakespeare Company!
"Green is a funny and thoughtful writer, and her facility for comedy and her disinterest in providing easy answers make for a play that is fun and refreshing in a world that seems set on simplifying issues to ensure they’re easily digestible."
- Gemma Wilson, Seattle Times
"To be able to capture that chaotic lightning in a bottle and make it this funny is a gift — I have truly not heard an audience laugh this hard in years."
- Seattle Times on The Bed Trick.
"The script is smart, hilarious and frequently touching."
- San Diego Union Tribune on Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play
"...all of this firmly establishing Green as one of the most prolific and whip-smart emerging playwrights around."
