Liv Hewson

What I admire about Liv Hewson is the quiet steel underneath the work. From Abby in Santa Clarita Diet to Van in Yellowjackets, they build presence by accumulation rather than spectacle, and their playwriting, full of queer, dark fairytale reimaginings, feels of a piece with that sensibility. Still in their early thirties, Hewson strikes me as someone rewriting the world on their own terms instead of chasing anyone's template. That self-possession is rare and exciting. I find myself rooting hard for performers who choose conviction over noise, and Hewson sits squarely in that camp for me.
