FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Cost of Living

'Cost of Living' review — a beautifully acted drama about connection and class
9 / 10

Martyna Majok's Cost of Living follows shifting relationships between two disabled adults and their caregivers. The play arrives on Broadway four years after being awarded a Pulitzer Prize, an honor that is both a badge (bragging rights to an exclusive club) and baggage (escalated expectations). That's the cost of winning.

Review | ‘Cost of Living’ brings disabilities drama to Broadway
10 / 10

Like 'Sanctuary City,' 'Cost of Living' is a compelling contemporary drama that has enigmatic and vulnerable characters, complex relationships, rising intensity, vigorous argumentation, and an underlying sense of humor and compassion in the midst of endless struggle.

Interview: Katy Sullivan Makes Her Broadway Debut with Pulitzer Prize Winner COST OF LIVING at Manhattan Theatre Club
by Christian Gill - September 25, 2022


We need more writers telling stories from this authentic point of view where disability is not a manipulative plot point, or where we feel sorry for a character or something like that. We need more people writing stories where people with disabilities are individuals that live their life this way or are just going about their lives and then something happens.
