“Smart and sensitive, SINGLES IN AGRICULTURE is a triumph. A big-hearted play with a darkly comic core. You probably can’t remember the last erotic play you saw about contemporary farmers, so you know this show is fresh… 80 minutes of continuous action, [it’s] a sexy, startling, and ultimately uplifting piece of theater.”
—Sarah Matusek, New York Theatre Review
“Wonderfully wrought. Just when you might think you have Abby Rosebrock’s SINGLES IN AGRICULTURE easily pegged, are you ever in for an amazing and welcome surprise—a number of them, actually. Life is filled with ups and downs, of course, and SINGLES IN AGRICULTURE demonstrates it with a grace and conviction that’s as admirable as it is rare.”
—Bert Osborne, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
