“… a surrealist vision … surprising … versatile.”
Erin Blackwell, San Francisco Frontiers Newsmagazine

“Serial Murderess is provocative, literate and scary … above all, it’s entertaining.”
Dallas Faulkner, Bay Arts & Music

“Speaking of naughty … Amanda Moody’s deliciously twisted take on women who kill is funny, disturbing and refreshingly un-PC.”
Kerry Reid, Callboard Magazine

“… an extraordinary play … haunting characters … both writing and performance of classic proportions … the staging and Melissa Weaver’s direction are excellent …”
Wanda Sabir, San Francisco Bay View

“Moody segues seamlessly from one character to the next under the polished direction of her frequent collaborator, Melissa Weaver, and seems to completely channel them all. Moody’s virtuosity – as writer, singer, and actor – is awesome.”
Jean Schiffman, Back Stage West

 

DEATH BECOMES HER – THREE TIMES OVER

“… tight quirky and resonant … replete with images that stay with you. A triptych of portraits of female serial murderers from three different eras, it’s a dramatic tone poem on women who kill too much … staged with creative simplicity, to stunning effect, by Melissa Weaver … most vivid is the intense concentration Amanda Moody brings … from the fierceness of the will betrayed in a tremor, to the hands that claw at her throat … the stillness at the center of Moody’s intense focus works a strangely evocative transformation.”
Robert Hurwitt, SF Examiner

 

WOMEN WHO KILL AND THE AUDIENCES WHO LOVE THEM

“Incredible costumes and an original score that sets the stage for an intense evening of poetic and evocative theater.”
Editor’s Pick – Karl Gajdusek, DigitalCity/SF

 

OUT DAMN SPOT

“With her superb writing and minimal but beautifully effective gestures, Moody inhabits three women … She seamlessly transitions between these characters using wonderful costumes (Jennifer Delilah) and songs that culminate in the bone-chilling final monologue.”
#1 E-PICK – Karen McKevitt, SF Gate
