Hunting and Gathering
Four New Yorkers seek shelter, both physical and spiritual, in a variety of temporary abodes and in one another in this dark comedy. "As every young, single New Yorker quickly learns, real estate is destiny in this town, a fact of urban life that Brooke Berman addresses with bracing wit and intelligence in HUNTING AND GATHERING. The four attractive players in this droll comedy think of their fly-by-night housing accommodations as proof of an independent spirit. Little do they realize, until the scribe plays her romantic trump card, that their loose living conditions more accurately expose their fears of emotional commitment. Character insights are comic, but never cruel, revealed in clever d...

"After her recent success with SAM AND LUCY at the Summer Play Festival, Brooke Berman has proven herself a playwright to watch. Her latest, THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS, doesn't disappoint. It's a slyly funny, thought-provoking piece ... THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS is a home run ..." -CurtainUp "Ms Berman fractures her storyboard with abandon, jump-cutting among characters and between inner and outer dialogue fearlessly, as she did in her play SMASHING ... And the exchanges are full of wit ..." -Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

Out of the Water
A contemporary Calypso on the island of Manhattan learns what family is all about. "I am extremely taken and impressed with her work and find everything she writes to be infused with a most intriguing and original voice ... I think Brooke is a first rate talent and will distinguish herself in the American theater." -Christopher Durang "Ms Berman has a vigorous interest in turning over the rocks in contemporary relationships to find what is growing underneath." -New York Times on A PERFECT COUPLE "Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor." -David Cote, Time Out New York on SMASHING "Brooke Berman has proven herself a playwright to watch." -CurtainUp on THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS "Brooke Berman's book has an odd and subtle charm, an intelligent memoir about growing up and finding one's place in the world. This is a thoughtful and fascinating coming-of-age book ... intelligent and wise." -Laurie Hertzel, Minneapolis-Saint Paul Star Tribune on NO PLACE LIKE HOME

THE LIDDY PLAYS follow Liddy and Emerson, an enigmatic brother and sister, as they confront the death of their mother, fall in love with dangerous people, learn to meditate, and remember the past. "I am extremely taken and impressed with her work and find everything she writes to be infused with a most intriguing and original voice ... I think Brooke is a first rate talent and will distinguish herself in the American theater." -Christopher Durang "Brooke's plays are personal and intimate, even naked. They are funny and brave, loose and incisive, full of messy revelations and brilliant insights." -Todd London, Artistic Director, New Dramatists NYC "Ms Berman has a vigorous interest in turning over the rocks in contemporary relationships to find what is growing underneath." -The New York Times "Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor." -David Cote, Time Out "Brooke Berman has proven herself a playwright to watch." -CurtainUp
Smashing
Twenty-one-year-old It-Girl Abby and her plucky best friend, Clea, embark on a spur-of-the-moment revenge trip to London - Abby, in pursuit of the young novelist who has cannibalized her in his literary debut and Clea desperately seeking Madonna. "... Brooke Berman's delicious literary comedy ... Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor in this sharp satire. In addition, her eloquent, self-aware characters mull over issues of hero-worship and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, as it relates to fact and fiction: Seeing oneself refracted in a novel can lead to an identity crisis for the subject ... Berman's tale, which wriggles between past, present and the sub-Nabokovian world of the book ... this hip skewering of sexual and literary politics is more than just a pose." -David Cote, Time Out New York
