Torrey Townsend
Press
“meets the moment with a howl of pain and fury.”
Jackson McHenry
“the tonal and structural switchbacks here are genuinely exhilarating… how much is ‘real’ wavers, except for the rock-solid sense we're in the presence of real talent—both onstage & behind it.”
Helen Shaw
"Thank God for Torrey Townsend’s searing and provocative (and funny!) Jewish Plot..."
Fran Hoepfner
“dynamites [the fourth wall] into smoking rubble.”
Elisabeth Vincentelli
“an in-your-face, deranged work of metatheater that still manages to shock even when you know what’s coming.”
Sean Pergola
“Townsend is one of the few artists willing to depict this societal psychosis with appropriate gravity.”
Sean Pergola
“Townsend’s Jewish Plot is a wild deconstruction of authorship and identity.”
Douglas Corzine
