"I am extremely taken and impressed with her work and find everything she writes to be infused with a most intriguing and original voice ... I think Brooke is a first rate talent and will distinguish herself in the American theater." -Christopher Durang "Brooke's plays are personal and intimate, even naked. They are funny and brave, loose and incisive, full of messy revelations and brilliant insights." -Todd London, Artistic Director, New Dramatists NYC "Ms Berman has a vigorous interest in turning over the rocks in contemporary relationships to find what is growing underneath." -The New York Times "Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor." -David Cote, Time Out "Brooke Berman has proven herself a playwright to watch." -CurtainUp

On the verge of the millennium, a strange teenaged prophetess obsessed with New Wave music invites a suburban family and the raunchy movie star who has crashed in on their holiday to join her as she welcomes The New World. "After her recent success with SAM AND LUCY at the Summer Play Festival, Brooke Berman has proven herself a playwright to watch. Her latest, THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS, doesn't disappoint. It's a slyly funny, thought-provoking piece ... THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS is a home run ..." -CurtainUp "Ms Berman fractures her storyboard with abandon, jump-cutting among characters and between inner and outer dialogue fearlessly, as she did in her play SMASHING ... And the exchanges are full of wit ..." -Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
