    Robert Weibezahl has a skill to make a comedy unsettling and uncomfortable. The longer I read, the more uncomfortable I got and that’s what makes this piece so unique and fascinating. I really liked how Weibezahl layers the action and each reveal is not spoiled, they are all naturally layered which gives us a fantastic ending.

    Delightfully unsettling, SwimShare provides a nice suburban couple with the intruders from hell. The comical vulgarity and presumption of the intruders push the couple to the breaking point. And perhaps beyond. The dialogue paints a vivid portrait of the entitled and boorish wife and the unspoken responses illuminate her husband and the "host" couple. The situation is novel and engaging, This is a dark comedy worthy of the name. It would be such fun to see all four characters brought to life.

    Splash into this Roald Dahl-ish tale of the unexpected short! As delicious as a juicy mango, this four hander would be a delight for director & crew to stage in the 21st equivalent of the suburbia in Burt Lancaster’s The Swimmer. At first seemingly about the entitled Airbnb generation & riffing on possible real life hoaxes, this twists and turns & sizzles in swimming pool sunshine with a dash of sexual tension thrown in until the final deep dive.
