DO YOU FEEL ANGER?
Theater Alliance
by Mara Nelson-Greenberg
Sofia was recently hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency-and clearly, she has her work cut out for her. These employees can barely identify what an emotion is, much less practice deep, radical compassion for others. While they painstakingly stumble towards enlightenment, someone keeps mugging Eva in the kitchen. An outrageous comedy about the danger-and absurdity-of a world where some people's feelings matter more than others.

"Director Kelly Colburn has assembled a talented cast for the Washington, DC premiere of playwright Mara Nelson-Greenberg’s compelling piece. You know you’ve seen a brilliant performance when you have to remind yourself that the bad guys are just acting."
- Jeannette Mulherin, MD Theatre Guide |

"Director Kelly Colburn had the unenviable challenge of maintaining the absurdist tone of this script: how to keep the dark comedy funny, or at least as engrossing as watching a dumpster fire might be."
- John Stoltenberg, DC Theatre Arts |
