Reviews

“Smart and sensitive, SINGLES IN AGRICULTURE is a triumph. A big-
hearted play with a darkly comic core. You probably can’t remember the
last erotic play you saw about contemporary farmers, so you know this
show is fresh… 80 minutes of continuous action, [it’s] a sexy, startling, and
ultimately uplifting piece of theater.”
—Sarah Matusek, New York Theatre Review
