Cause for Alarm
Cause for Alarm is “a quirky relationship-cum-workplace comedy. Schwartz’s conversations and topics bleed into one another while characters babble around their personal problems—as if Gertrude Stein had penned an episode of Ally McBeal.” (David Cote, Time Out New York). The play loosely follows Margaret’s journey away from the madness of her boyfriend, her coworkers, and her psychotic mother.

“Her journey isn’t really what keeps you interested though—it is the velocity of the playful language… A refreshing and delightful whirlwind of a play, Cause For Alarm is a wonderful, non-linear ride.”—nytheatre.com.
