by Kristen Kosmas (Ugly Duckling, 2009)

I’m no drama critic, but what I love about the playwright Eugène Ionesco I also love about Kristen Kosmas’ Hello Failure. (Satire and wit without embitterment.) But George Hunka says it better:

“Kristen Kosmas is one of the most exciting and accomplished new voices in the American theater… Her story of seven submariners’ wives marries Chekhovian realism to a language reminiscent of Gertrude Stein for one of the best new plays of the season.”
