Peter Fenton: The Baked Alaska Incident by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn

“

[12/8/24] I'm deeply concerned that Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn has written something we could realistically see happen in the not-so-distant future! Jokes aside, The Baked Alaska Incident is a wonderfully absurd ten-plus minute comedy that escalates what happens when a tech "trillionaire" is denied getting what he wants, and who ultimately will pay for it.

The best way to influence is to engage in a manner that entertains. There is no better way to do this than through humor. Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn nails the concept with the satirical short THE BAKED ALASKA INCIDENT. I laughed, was shocked, ruminated, grew concerned, then laughed some more. Great concept, characters and dialogue. Thoroughly enjoyable. I would love to see this one staged.

Well, Floyd-Priskorn gets all the points with one of the most hilarious one-two punches of comedy and consequences I’ve encountered in a while. I didn’t see this coming. And when it came, I had to stop quite a bit in order to be able to breathe again. This play will leave you cackling. And when that’s gone, what remains is a worthy moral to act on. Eat the rich. They probably taste better than baked Alaska.
