ReviewsCorsicana "Watching Corsicana, I felt it was about who gets to make art, and for whom. Reading it, I felt it was about how becoming 'grown' is, for anyone, a lifelong process of failing upward. Thinking back on it, I feel it was about the way the world tucks beauty inside envelopes of sorrow, and vice versa . . . Without ignoring the bone-deep sadness of characters confused and stymied by loss, it lets us watch them climb their way out of it--heading toward joy and sharing some in the process." -- Jesse Green, New York Times "The four characters of Arbery's Corsicana are all figuring things out: how to mature, how to move on, how to love, how to express. And they're all taking care of each other in little ways . . . Will Arbery is quickly establishing himself as the poet of Texas loneliness. He is one of the most exciting playwrights working in the American theater, stretching the form to new shapes and expanding his voice with each successive play." -- Lane Williamson, Exeunt Evanston Salt Costs Climbing "In a great piece of art, you'll have one moment where the truth will punch through. But in a profoundly generous piece of art, like Evanston--a play that is theoretical, painful, deep, and hysterically funny--those moments of truth keep punching through and through and through." -- Chloe Cooper Jones, Bomb Magazine "Arbery is the playwright of the moment. His project as a playwright is to yank away that 'dishonest mask of pretended order,' using the means he has at hand--the empathetic tools of performance and the electrifying effects of wild unreality." -- Helen Shaw, New Yorker, "Without ignoring the bone-deep sadness of characters confused and stymied by loss, [Corsicana] lets us watch them climb their way out of it--heading toward joy and sharing some in the process... Watching it, I felt it was about who gets to make art, and for whom. Reading it, I felt it was about how becoming 'grown' is, for anyone, a lifelong process of failing upward. Thinking back on it, I feel it was about the way the world tucks beauty inside envelopes of sorrow, and vice versa." --The New York Times on Corsicana "[A] mysterious, meandering, and quietly subversive new play... With its embrace of the wonderous and unknown, Corsicana makes one thing clear: It's OK to not have all the answers." --TheaterMania on Corsicana "[Arbery] is one of the most exciting playwrights working in the American theatre, stretching the form to new shapes and expanding his voice with each successive play...Corsicana is a contemplative, moving play that's not to be missed." --Exeunt Magazine on Corsicana "[Arbery] employs a sense of the hidden, whether as a supernatural presence or as some coincidence that goes beyond the rational. He's rhythmically very free, switching between long stretches of text, realistic talk, and rapid, language-as-sound exchanges. And there's a single drumbeat driving his work: things are bad, the badness is out there, and, sorry to say, the badness is getting closer." --New Yorker on Evanston Salt Costs Climbing "In Will Arbery's strange and wonderful play Evanston Salt Costs Climbing...the impending doom of climate change, economic precariousness, and urban decay are not merely abstract concerns. They are dark and stultifying forces that can make even time go out of whack." --Talkin Broadway on Evanston Salt Costs Climbing "The show interweaves segments of laugh-out-loud ridiculousness with sudden inexplicable shocks of eerie dark energy as it delves into the minds of the anxiety-ridden characters, in a challenging work loaded with meaningful absurdity." --DC Theater Arts on Evanston Salt Costs Climbing

From wildly different angles, Corsicana and Evanston Salt Costs Climbing both examine the shape-shifting specters of grief, the pull of desire and dreams, and the universal human need for receiving and giving care.
