Martha is a great writer of dialogue and situation and also is able to create fascinating and complex characters in a very short time on stage. She is an especially vivid and insightful writer of female characters.

Martha's awe-inspiring connection to a silenced past moved her to create Amarilis, a woman of 80 who would tell her massacre story to her neighbor in her living room, but not without ending her monologue by asking, "Now, about that lemonade. May I offer you some?"...Martha, again, has combined research with art and un-silenced by way of theatre.
