““Feelings seldom come singly in “Dry Land,” the remarkable new play by Ruby Rae Spiegel. [...] “Dry Land,” a Colt Coeur production directed with rippling fluidness by Adrienne Campbell-Holt, is about abortion. No, that’s not correct. It’s about the complexities of friendship and the fears of the future that grip kids arriving at the threshold of adulthood. ”

““Watching Ruby Rae Spiegel’s ruthlessly honest Dry Land, you wonder: Girls, how did theater miss you?!? Everything else belongs to them: film, television, fiction. Yet it takes Spiegel’s simple, fierce play to put a young woman’s capacity for pain center stage—and the choice feels thrilling, even political.[...] Director Adrienne Campbell-Holt of the reliable company Colt Coeur enables startling performances.. There’s a glitter to the young: The company, the director, the writer and the actors all shimmer with it.””

““A thrilling and difficult new play, every inch filled with emotional integrity and a thrilling examination of the human side of political discourse.”

““Few things are as bracing as the shock of new talent. In 10 years — or more likely in 10 months, considering our accelerated hatching cycle — you’ll be able to say you were there for Ruby Rae Spiegel’s first full-length play. [...] Keenly directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt for the tiny but excellent Colt Coeur company.” ”
