"In Stuck, Marci and Eric squabble about domestic rifts and the questions of sanity on the eve of their fifteenth anniversary. Some glasses of wine, mutilated barbies, and bizarre paintings litter the set while guts and viscera take center stage. The last time I was so jarred by a play’s ending was Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Stuck is in good company with Albee and completely unnerves the audience with an unforeseen twist." StageBuddy review of her play, "Stuck"
