HEALTHY NEW HABITS

    Even killer clowns need therapy appointments. This absurd yet relatable ten-minute play gives us something to relate to in terms of pre- and post-pandemic: what we're missing out on, what's changed, and maybe what is hard to get back to. Rachael Carnes's witty dialogue and humor make this a wonderful play to read and to stage. It was a pleasure to include it in some scripts literary magazine Issue 5!

    Light, quick, and strangely relatable, underneath this play's humorous antics is a tangible study on life before and during Coronavirus; it allows for cathartic laughter at the absurdity within the play, as well as a moment of self-reflection in pre- and post-pandemic habits, desires, and sanity.

    HAHAHAHAHA! Okay, I will admit, the idea of a killer clown that can knit a sweater is high on the anxiety list, but everything will be fine as long as you funnel it through Racheal Carnes sensitivities. I chuckled throughout this delightful little piece of EC-Comic inspired whimsy. I'd love to see a follow up after the vacation to France...
