Striking Up

Recommended by

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Striking Up

    This is a great, tight little piece that sets up a seemingly innocuous meeting between two strangers and pulls us along to a shocking conclusion. I particularly like that both characters tell their story in a way that does not seem expositional, but flows out of their personalities and situations. A nice play for a dark comedy festival or other similar venue.
