Reviews"[Ziegler's play is] thoughtful, compassionate, funny...The playwright deftly displays the barbed and tender sides of [the central characters'] relationship...But "The Wanderers" is about more than bittersweet relationships and coping with the past; it's about the human tendency to be chronically dissatisfied. Confused and yearning, Esther wonders, "Who really understands whether or not they are happy?", ""[Ziegler's play is] thoughtful, compassionate, funny...The playwright deftly displays the barbed and tender sides of [the central characters'] relationship...But "The Wanderers" is about more than bittersweet relationships and coping with the past; it's about the human tendency to be chronically dissatisfied. Confused and yearning, Esther wonders, "Who really understands whether or not they are happy?"" -- Washington Post on 'The Wanderers' ""The world premiere of "The Great Moment" at Seattle Rep is touching, clever, relatable, and enchanting."" -- Seattle Pockets on 'The Great Moment' "Effortlessly gripping....funny and aching in all the right spots....it's a good one, and splendidly played" -- Washington Post on Another Way Home ""...[A] taut, devastating play... a smart, profoundly painful exploration of [a] murky, treacherous sexual culture... Actually's great strength, and its great heartbreak, is that it allows us to see both Amber and Tom so fully...Actually's wit and its intelligence are part of what makes the complex darkness at its center hit so hard. There is brightness in this play, and in these people, and to see its sparks overwhelmed by such fearful and familiar shadows is shattering. In moments, it's even revelatory."" -- New York Magazine on 'Actually'

Synopsis"[Her] dialogue bristles with smart, eloquent talk...Ms. Ziegler's quietly lyrical language has a luminous beauty, and her talent for creating characters whose complicated depths are just visible on their surfaces is still more remarkable." (The New York Times) This second play collection from one of America's most successful theatre writers brings together four plays that offer differing perspectives on family and the human condition. Each play has enjoyed successful productions in cities across America, cementing Ziegler's position as one of the world's most exciting contemporary dramatists. The Wanderers: A funny, insightful, and mysterious new drama explores the hidden connections between seemingly disparate people, drawing audiences into an intriguing puzzle and a deeply sympathetic look at modern love. "As perfect a piece of theater as I've seen in many years. The script by Anna Ziegler is a revelation, touching on family truths, marriage, and personal histories...Go see this show. It's magnificent." (DC Theatre Scene) The Great Moment: A personal and poignant meditation on beginnings and endings, birth and age, and the moments of transition that mark our passage from life to death. " A reflection on family, love, life, expected loss, and the peculiarity of our relationship with time, The Great Moment blends moments of sweetness, sadness, nostalgia, delight, and humor to create a delightful evening of theater." ( Seattle Pockets) Another Way Home : A funny, moving, and uplifting examination of what it means to be a family. "a laugh-packed serio-comedy that shoves family life under a microscope. The dialogue is ironic, sardonic, poignant, insightful and funny - with each sensation rapidly piling atop the next." (Marinscope) Actually: Investigates gender and race politics, our crippling desire to fit in, and the three sides to every story. "Gripping. Beautifully rendered and complex. Destined to trigger discussion." (LA Times)
