Maybe For A Minute

Recommended by

    Deeply reminiscent of those teenage conversations we all had - the ones that were so deep, so powerful. This is a beautiful play, and the depth of Lily and Ron-Ann, and the nuance and complexity of their relationship, are exquisitely presented. This would be a worthy addition to an evening of one-acts, and a chance for two young actors to truly shine.

    Two extremely resonant themes in this sensitive, specific piece: one, the sadness and strangeness of former friendships, and two, how very much group projects suck. The love, the hurt, the anger, the questioning of a friend who has left and come back is so beautiful here. Intricate dialogue, and two great characters for young female actors, both rich with history, emotion, and truth. It feels like the conversations you can only have late at night, and the setting of a drive-in is evoked so strongly. I saw this with a young audience and they were palpably moved, and intrigued.
