"The best new play of the year!" – The Washington Post

★★★★★ – Time Out

"JUDITH IVEY is terrific. It's no small compliment to say that EDMUND DONOVAN is her match." – The New York Times

GREATER CLEMENTS takes place in the fictional town of Greater Clements, Idaho, a mining community where properties are being purchased by wealthy out-of-state people, forcing out lifelong residents — largely blue-collar workers — who are becoming disenfranchised and disenchanted. The story is told through Maggie, played by the marvelous Judith Ivey. Through the author’s quirky humor, keen observation and deep sensitivity to these idiosyncratic characters, we see just how hard it might be to leave the past behind.
