born bad - tucker green has mastered the art of subtext; this is a play where people talk to each other - but that does not stop it being absolutely thrilling
dirty butterfly - tucker green has such an incredible control over rhythm and character, this play felt so alive, even though there were few descriptions I could see it all
generations - this play has one conversation, which is repeated again and again, and yet still remains interesting and packs a punch at the end
stoning mary - (reread) - I remember struggling to read this the first time round, but this time was very rewarding, knowing what was coming, and already having a bit of a grasp of the characters and story.
trade - oh to be able to write dialogue like tucker green. this one was a fair bit lighter in tone than lots of the others, but still equally interesting and thought.
random - (reread) - probably the saddest play I've ever read but in the best way possible.

These plays by debbie tucker green were ahead of their time when they were initially performed. The slow-burn narratives, imperfect characters and the diverse cast across the entirety of this collection makes this stand out (and rightfully so).
However, despite saying this, I didn't always understand what was happening and took me a while to get to grips with the scene. But this is still a collection of plays I will recommend, regardless!
read for a university year one, semester one + two creative writing class.
