Review: BACON at Rogue Machine
by Amanda Callas - Feb 16, 2025

Bacon is the West Coast premiere of a simmering new drama at Rogue Machine on Melrose running through March 30th.  Brawny, raw, savagely intimate, Bacon is a spare two-person play by Sophie Swithinbank that grabs us hard and never lets us go, even for a second.

Review: BLUE, Seven Dials Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 9, 2024

It’s easy to understand why Blue garnered excellent reviews and a Fringe First Award for their run in Edinburgh last year. It’s an intense, alarming, carefully eloquent, and raw achievement.

Review: BLUE at Rogue Machine At The Matrix Theatre
by Evan Henerson - Apr 23, 2023

Carryl’s play is as tight as it is immediate, an inspired-by-the-headlines jolt of storytelling that cuts across racial unrest, the psyches of our men in blue and even the January 6 insurrection.
