[The Reality Shows] is a deeply written project, intended for the page as much as the stage. --David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times Karen Finley is a profound theater-artist. Her artistry is due in part to her ability to alchemize 'news' and make it art. She takes the viewer by the throat as she screams, cajoles, and seduces us into some awareness of the world at large. Finley's brilliance lies in this fact, too: her insistence that we look at our respective souls by having us view her characters own, even as we want to look away. She is irreplaceable. --Hilton Als, New Yorker theater critic The Reality Shows gives you the words--the incantations on pages-- that power Finley's performances and allow readers to linger in ways live audiences never can. --Lisa Duggan, author of Sapphic Slashers: Sex, Violence and American Modernity [The Reality Shows] is a deeply written project, intended for the page as much as the stage. --David L.
