    Creating a sci-fi universe in 60 seconds is crafty by itself, but the real bounty is in the unexpected twist of an ending! A fun play just perfect for any one-minute play festival!

    Short as this play is, there's a lot to like. The scene is set quickly, and the comedy packs a punch.

    As previous recommendations have stated, Monica Cross has done well to build the world of "The Warship Waterloo." But I find it even more impressive that she has absolutely nailed a universal truth in this 1-minute sci-fi comedy: Booze will make anyone think twice.

    Fun and funny, easily produced on stage or in a virtual performance as with the Whiskey Theatre Factory's 1-minute play competition, where it debuted in 2022.
