"You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World!" running at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival through 8/21!
Greg’s been so good: he recycles, eats right, loves his wife, and has only a slightly uncomfortable relationship with his grown-up kid. But when he’s faced with a terminal illness, he becomes obsessed with climate change and the fate of the planet while his wife and child try to cope with their own worlds ending. This play about grief—and cringe-y family dinners, and lawnmowers, and Greta Thunberg, and gay bars, and awkward support groups—is an exquisitely touching and hilarious story that anyone who’s ever lost a loved one (or laughed at a funeral) can relate to.
"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
"The play admirably intertwines themes of mortality, human kindness, our world's continuing environmental crisis, and loving but fractured familial bonds, delivered via a winning blend of humor, heart, and poignancy."
- Broadway World Los Angeles
"... all of this firmly establishing Green as one of the most prolific and whip-smart emerging playwrights around."
- San Diego Union Tribune
"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
