The Morning After The Fall

  • Bethany Dickens Assaf: The Morning After The Fall

    Bavoso is such a clever, confident, and witty writer, and "The Morning After the Fall" showcases these qualities to great effect. I had the privilege of producing the piece for Whiskey Theatre Factory's 2021 reading, which was a huge success and elicited both big laughs and knowing sighs from the audience during its bittersweet beats. I would highly recommend this piece for any short play festival.

    The story we never knew, just another thing Eve ruined! Turns out Steve will be better off! Well done.

    I'm so glad John Bavoso was covered by Unknown Playwrights. He has got a sharp, snappy sense of humor and is able to deliver some fantastic lines. I was crying - there are so many amazing one-liners in just 8 pages. And even though it's a comedy, there is such a big commentary on so many other things, including religion and relationships. This is a writer everyone needs to know.
