Really:
“Ms. Drury's three-character drama may tackle issues commonly debated in aesthetic philosophy seminars, but its tone is never academic.” —New York Times
“Minimalist, stylized dialogue like this risks becoming irritating, but Drury knows just how much to leave to our imagination. Her scenes and exchanges are rich with repressed emotion, so even if the talk of the characters doesn’t make logical sense, there is plenty of compelling resonance.” —The Arts Fuse
“A play that updates European absurdist techniques to take aim at liberal America's great existential troubles: race and gender.” —Bomb Magazine
We Are Proud to Present…:
“We Are Proud… impressively navigates the tricky boundaries that separate art and life, the haunted present and the haunting historical past.” —New York Times
“At turns funny and unsettling, Sibblies Drury's play-within-a-play gently lampoons actors' tendency to let their own self-awareness and self-importance eclipse all else. In the wrong hands, this approach might have resulted in a broad and cliched skewering of easy actor targets, but there's a keen subtlety at work in both the performances and in Sibblies Drury's writing.” —Gothamist
Social Creatures:
“In her brilliant Social Creatures, now in its inaugural run at Trinity Rep, Drury has us laughing through tears as she takes on capitalism, racism and the changing world order.” —Providence Journal
“Jackie Sibblies Drury’s sharp script for Social Creatures powers the best production of a new play I’ve seen in a long time. This tense and gory tragicomedy, debuting at Trinity Rep, avoids so many pitfalls of both new plays and zombie drama. It creates a credible atmosphere of real danger, both physically and emotionally, and Drury uses the threat to effectively explore what we lose as a society when we lose intimacy.” —New England Theatre Geek
