  • Enid Brain: Ripe Frenzy by Jennifer Barclay
    “

    This play is brilliantly constructed with fascinating characters. Barclay layers on levels of tension in a masterful way with a climax that, even though you know it's coming, still hits hard and fast. This play is important, interesting, and painful. I was choking up just reading it and I do not have any children. This play should be performed often and well.

    “

    It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Jennifer Barclay and their play Ripe Frenzy as a finalist for our 2017 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 55 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers responded especially to the play's inventive theatrical devices, interplay with Wilder’s OUR TOWN, and flawed, complex characters.
