Linda's stage plays:
Bite the Apple
"The ensemble of actresses are remarkable, particularly the evocative and nuanced performance by Manning. Bite the Apple is a smart script with intricate dialogue and beautiful language...." Joseph Samuel Wright Theatre Is Easy, New York, NY |
DO SOMETHING WITH YOURSELF! The Life of Charlotte Brontë
"Writer-performer Linda Manning gives us a fiercely intelligent and sexual Charlotte Brontë.... The writing delicately renders the conflict between family responsibility and the artist's calling, between romantic yearning and the realities of married love." The Village Voice, New York, NY |
The Fall of the House of Usher
"Deftly handling the madness that lies at the heart of Poe’s tale, Manning oscillated from a petulant little girl, to a proper young lady, to a disturbing sexual force.... The amount of humor that Manning has incorporated into the script, without compromising its horror, is one of its greatest accomplishments.” The Off-Off-Broadway Review, New York, NY |
