  • Shaun Leisher: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    A stunning work of horror and satire. Somebody needs to produce this.

  • Brynn Hambley: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    A masterful use of allegory/extended metaphor, pacing, and atmosphere that beautifully calls out colleges for not doing enough to protect their women, femme, and AFAB students. I absolutely adore works that use horror as a tool to unveil the visceral, and yet sometimes invisible, experiences that women and femmes go through, and Psychopsychotic does this very intelligently. I would love to see this staged!

  • Nick Malakhow: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    An unsettling, darkly humorous, and razor sharp exploration of college rape culture and the ways schools consistently fail women and femme folk and oftentimes even pit women against one another. The genre-bending mash up of horror, absurdism, and satire serves the story and theme well, putting into stark relief the absolute absurdism of these systematic failings and harms. I'd be excited to see this in production!

    A necessary and powerful look into the rape culture of college campuses and amplify the voices of women. Excellent work.

  • Patrick Kvachkoff: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    Alexa Derman's language is evocative, frightening, and chillingly natural. PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC excels in wrapping day-to-day exchanges in their horrifying subtext. In the same moment, this play's male characters can be both unimaginably vile and still myself and every man I've ever met. Derman weaves beautiful motifs and heartbreaking imagery with mind blowing ease. This play should be put up on every college campus in America.

    Stark, visceral, brutal. This is a play not easily forgotten.

  • Jordan Elizabeth Bird: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    This play is so deeply troubling and haunting. Derman taps into our collective fears in such a visceral, unflinchingly brutal way, and addresses the ridiculous ways that our culture tries to "deal" with violence and sexual assault against women.

  • Cassandra Rose: PSYCHOPSYCHOTIC, or, everyone at yale is a goddamn sociopath !!!

    This is American Psycho for the next generation. This play might be hard to watch, but that's only because it has to be. In a world where everyone's a nice guy and #notallmen have victims hiding in their closets, this play has the guts to say to men shut up and look at what women are really afraid of when you ask them to come home with them. To look away from this horror is to continue being part of the problem.
