“Brown Wasp is the best of the bunch… [Wendy Noel] peels the character’s skin back, revealing a laughing, weeping heart.”  Georgia Straight

“Last on the bill but best of the bunch, Meah Martin’s Brown Wasp is a strong script about a Vancouver woman battling breast cancer at a Saskatchewan spa.  The playwright’s sharp sense of the woman’s turmoil is emphasized in Wendy Noel’s performance, as director Johnna Wright helps Noel hone the mood swings carrying her warm and funny character all over the emotional map.”  Vancouver Sun
