  • Colette Cullen: The Surrogate by Patricia Cotter
    “

    This is a hugely enjoyable and entertaining play. I started reading it for research purposes as I write about similar subjects but continued reading it for pure pleasure. Would love to see a production. If you're looking for a play that's funny, with relatable characters that deals with some very important issues - parenthood, class, gender, reproductive rights, family, relationships - then look no further. Highly recommended.

    A terrific look inside the modern family and the new down to business way we relate to life. Well done!

    This is a play full of great wit and humor, which also addresses more complex issues of class, and exactly what elements collide (sometimes hilariously) to comprise the modern family.

As one of 54 finalists out of more than 1,450 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers especially appreciated the great humor and heart of the play and responded to the nuanced characters.
