“Playwright Kit Brennan, who lived for a time in Lloydminster before moving back East, shows a penetrating knowledge of, and a keen, contagious sympathy for the wrung-out and repressed prairie wife and mother in this unique one-act play [Magpie].”

“The real life of this play [Hunger Striking] lies in the script's detailed portraiture. Young Sarah is a fully drawn, complex person who resists leaving childhood to reach puberty and become gendered is to lose freedom. Playwright Kit Brennan captures the fierce fanaticism of that volatile time of life in Sarah's desire to be heroic and distilled to pure bonelike Joan of Arc, all will and holy voices.”

“Kit Brennan successfully charts the mental landscape of an anorexic. This play [Hunger Striking] is billed as semi-autobiographical, but what lifts it above the usual confessional monologue is the mythology woven poetically throughout. Brennan very successfully shows how Sarah has retreated from adolescence and family tension by creating a whole new world for herself, a place in which her actions have their own logic.”
