How About Them Dodgers

by Philip Middleton Williams

Ten-Minute: (2023) What looks like a casual conversation on a park bench in Miami is anything but. There's some illicit business going on, and it gets all the more furtive when a cop walks by.

How About Them Dodgers

Recommended by

  • Bruce Karp: How About Them Dodgers

    Oh, my, so many good twists and turns in just six pages. Williams covers several disruptive Florida issues in a devilish and surprising way. Kudos for such a clever way of showing how, with so many more important things going on in the world, Florida has chosen to waste its time on subjects designed to divide its residents. I hope this short play gets lots of productions.

    In this delightful and (unfortunately) timely satire, we see the inevitable result of state censorship over beloved American books. Williams shows off his skill with funny dialog and ironic situations, and the twists are well-worth the wait. This is an easy one to recommend.

    Thirty writers have stepped up to recommend this work. And though there's no reason to believe that my little recommendation will mean much, here it is: "How About Them Dodgers" is not prescient. Nor is it terrifying in the dystopian sense. This short work is in and of the moment. Which makes it downright tragic. America has produced some of the greatest writers and artists known to the world. And they're now forced to deal with censorship. Difficult play to read, yet necessary.
