WENDY GRAF
playwright

Stage Scene LA 
“WOW!... "As she has proven in play after play, there’s probably no L.A.-based playwright more adept at exploring dysfunctional family dynamics than Wendy Graf, and she does just that once again in her powerful, pungent latest, Masala Dabba. As she did two years ago at ICT in the adjacently themed Exit Wounds, playwright Graf will keep you guessing all the way up to Masala Dabba’s emotion-packed final scenes, and as in Closely Related Keys and No Word In Guyanese For Me, Graf (who is neither South Asian nor Black) proves that a writer need not be of the same race or culture as her protagonists to write about them with intelligence, understanding, and empathy." — Steven Stanley

LA Theatrix & Long Beach Post
“GORGEOUS… the simmering tension between mother and grandmother — and the four accomplished actors’ potent deliveries — rivet the audience through to the play’s meaningful conclusion… full of character and cultural details that make it as rich as Aditi’s embroidered sari.” — Anita W. Harris
