Dirt

(Ten Minute Play) David's taken to digging holes in the ground out in the country; Marnie's trying to bring him back home. But this far out, the line between filth and clean gets just a touch blurred.

    The play starts out as a meditation on mortality and relationships, then quickly takes a shocking turn (which I won't describe here). The twist is masterful and David's ultimate objective, when finally revealed, made it a delight to read.

    This dark comedy/drama isn't for the faint of heart, but the pitch-perfect surprise in the second half makes it easy to recommend. With great characters and dialogue in a creative situation, this is a stellar script—especially for those who don't like their plays falling into neat, clean categories.

    I love it when I find plays that totally take me by surprise. Brewer peels back the layers of these characters so well and really dives into what humans are capable of doing when they feel they have no other choice. That twist will leave you picking up your jaw off the floor! Deliciously sick.
