056 - Don't Call Me Mouse (feat. Rachel Bublitz‪)‬ Shared History

    • History

This week combines 3 things we love: spies, badass broads, and playwright Rachel Bublitz. The latter joins to tell the tale of Nancy Wake: badass lady spy of WWII whose tradecraft heavily featured out-drinking dumb men.

More on Rachel:

Rachel Bublitz is a playwright known for telling stories about women, and creating exciting new work for young performers. The Z Space premiere of her play “Ripped” received the Will Glickman Award for the best premiere play in the Bay Area. Other plays include a science driven full-length “Burst” (developed at Salt Lake Acting Company, PlayGround, and more), and “The Night Witches” (published with Dramatic Publishing). During the pandemic Rachel tried her hand at a novel, which she’s still developing. Turns out novels have a lot more words than plays.

Buy her Play, The Night Witches through Dramatic Publishing

Check out her other work on the New Play Exchange.
