My play Usual Girls is a New York Times Critic’s Pick!

Usual Girls is exciting to watch. With hilarity and grimness, it connects the dots between pleasure, pain and shame.” - New York Times (Critic’s Pick)

“Peiffer’s play explores female sexuality without attaching it to a love story. It’s a gutsy, vulnerable piece of writing and part of what feels like an immensely heartening wave of intelligent, compassionate, unafraid-to-get-ugly plays that give us vital new portraits of the artists — as young women.” - NYMAG/ Vulture

“A primal scream of a play” - TIMEOUT (4 STARS)

“[Usual Girls] depicts female adolescence as a battleground. No one gets out entirely alive.” - The New Yorker

Usual Girls is certainly not a comfortable evening in the theater, but it's never less than thought-provoking.” - The Hollywood Reporter
