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
