FWIW, I’ve seen DOWNSTATE, BIRTHRIGHT, and BLUEBERRIES all Off Broadway and would easily rank them in that exact order.
I don’t know what everyone’s talking about in terms of the lead being a major awards contender, considering she wasn’t even nominated for any major Off Broadway awards when BLUEBERRIES was eligible.
Not a knock to her, so much as the writing itself. I found it to be impressively well-studied, but with no real dramatic heft or tension. It played like a great research paper, not a great play.
