Searle’s dramatic instincts are fearless, scathing and often comedic; her dialogue is a master class in brilliance. Across her celebrated career, her ongoing genius is in fore-fronting our culture’s present sickness by holding up a deadly serious fun house mirror to American society. And her endings are genuine, visionary break-throughs.
“A surprising, edgy, and original writer.”
