REVIEWS:

"Witty, funny dialogue... A comic jewel masking the bruised heart we all carry."

 DC Theatre Scene

"Morgan Gould’s new play is so authentically rendered you feel as if you’d hacked into someone’s phone and read all their texts."

 Washington Post

"Packed with hilarious one-liners and touching moments, the script does a fantastic job of portraying the ups and downs of even the closest friendships."

 The Hawk Chicago

"I Wanna Fucking Tear You Apart shows every bit as much promise as Edward Albee’s early work, arguably more. That Morgan Gould can be mentioned in the penumbra of this playwriting giant is a tribute to her voice, craft and conscience."

 DC Metro Theatre Arts

"Acerbically funny and potent... Writer-director Morgan Gould cuts deep with this edgy, funny, foul-mouthed tale of friendship."

 Metroweekly

"Fresh and relevant... Gould's script is utterly relatable and highly adaptable, yet hardly predictable."

 Broadway World
