Reviews & Features
“Honest, meaningful and intense”
—Emily S. Mendel | Berkeleyside
“After centuries of drama that has banished female biology and sexuality offstage, reduced them to comically bland euphemisms, prettified them, sanitized and sanctified them or rendered them in pornographic tropes designed to pleasure men, Dry Land shines the brutal light of honesty.”
—Lily Janiak | San Francisco Chronicle
“For those who demand their art to be as unflinching as their reality, Dry Land has much to offer.”
—Nicole Gluckstern | KQED
