​​The Effect by Lucy Prebble
Strawdog Theatre, Fall 2019 
​
"Green stages the play very crisply and honestly"
"Plays that truly are thoughtful about depression and feeling, and
that genuinely want to look at things outside the usual binaries,
are as rare as a good date. This is one."

Raven Theatre, March 21st to May 5th 2019. 


“Elly Green’s direction of an incredible cast of actors took Anna Jordan’s script and brought out
​every emotion fathomable. I was a wreck leaving the theater."
 

NY Times best theatre of 2019

​"a kind of reconstructive take on Chicago-style intensity; the acting work here is all first rate"
★★★1/2 - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
