Neil LaBute’s The Mercy Seat |
Holy shit, are you in for an awesome play. I wasn't ever expecting it to end the way it did, nor did I want it to ever end. He wrote it magnificantly, and I couldn't have asked for more. I am so tired...

J. D. Salinger's "Catcher In The Rye" |

William Shakespeare's Othello |
