Challenging and witty

Max Bush's plays are engaging, funny, and challenging. His characters are memorable and well-rounded, and they challenge young actors. He does not play down to children, he expects them to be young adults, and he portrays them as such. While they might not fit into what's expected of Disney-esque fairy tales, Bush's stories tell a much more realistic story while working within fantasy.
