Maybe Tomorrow Reviews

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...The script’s unwillingness to pathologize or offer easy explanations is both a strength and a weakness. It’s easy to imagine a less compelling actor than Isherwood wearing out their welcome as Gail, even though Mondi’s play does raise potent questions about gendered assumptions around breadwinning and caregiving. But though there are moments where the story becomes a bit self-conscious (again, mostly in Gail’s direct addresses to the audience), it’s largely an interesting and well-acted snapshot of how easily extreme choices can become normalized by the ones who love us."

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...In this play, a midwest premiere written by Max Mondi, we meet a young couple, residing in a trailer home in the Northeast. From what we are told, this is based on a true story, and this couple, Ben ( deftly handled by Lucky) and Gail ( a powerful Isabella Isherwood), start the play by playing sex games in their bathroom. She plays a prisoner, and he, the guard and they have sex. In the next scene, she is doing a pregnancy test, again in the same bathroom (designed by Jose Alexander), and we continue to watch this couple live their experiences, in the bathroom."

Curtain Call Chicago - Recommended

"...Maybe Tomorrow is playwright Max Mondi’s intimate and unsettling story which relies on transforming a cramped bathroom into a pressure cooker for marriage, memory, and questionable reality. Wild Door Theater’s production embraces the play’s off-center energy by delivering an intimate, if not uncomfortable experience that is darkly funny one moment and psychologically challenging the next. This play is surely a smart choice for sophisticated audiences who enjoy a play that keeps shifting under their feet and concludes that there are no easy answers to satisfaction in life."
