Right-Justified

  • Steven G. Martin: Right-Justified

    This is a love letter to those who create art, especially theatre.

    K. Alexa Mavromatis and MJ Halberstadt have created a very funny character in Rostislav. There is such an over-the-top, near-ridiculous artistic temperament that it feels like a winking parody of a theatrical director.

    But.

    There's a shift in dialogue, in tone, in character that stops the action cold, that will sober an audience quickly. I love the comedy in "Right-Justified," but that moment, that shift is my favorite part of all. I hope this short play is produced again and again.

    Okay, so, I love this. There are no small parts, not even stage directions. Especially stage directions. This 10 minute piece would be a blast to watch, and probably even more fun to perform.

    This play is hilarious! You can really feel the tension being created right at the get-go and it concludes in a satisfying and skillful unravel.
