    At turns funny and unsettling, this is a play that the audience will be arguing about in the lobby. A gripping read.

    So many things to love in this horror about uninvited guests -- everything immediately goes against Anna and Nelson from the start and only gets worse; so much is set up early and naturally, making the climax inevitable; the way Vicki and Leo communicate ... audiences will get goosebumps galore.

    Swimshare was a delightfully eerie read. What began as a quirky misunderstanding soon revealed unsettling depths beneath its premise. I raced through the pages, captivated by the delightful subtext Robert Weibezahl so cleverly wove throughout, leaving me guessing until the final image. With its sharp writing, eerie intrigue, and palpable tension, this short is a gift for actors and directors.
