WORTH THE WAIT

Recommended by

  • Mike Byham: WORTH THE WAIT

    Simple, yet effective, Debra Cole’s WORTH THE WAIT is sure to bring a smile to anyone who reads it or sees it staged. Minimalistic dialogue and Implicit communication is applied where much more than what is actually spoken is conveyed. Actors will love these roles and audiences will love the characters. Well done! Delightful!

    Cole masterfully uses sparse language and rhythmic dialogue to capture the depth of human connection in remarkably few words. The play's brevity enhances its impact. Each line feels intentional, drawing the audience into the emotional core of the piece without unnecessary embellishment. "Worth the Wait" is a delightful short piece that lingers long after the final line.

    I absolutely love the cadence of this piece. It reminded me of my grandparents, who were conversation minimalists much like the characters DEBRA A. COLE has beautifully crafted in this short play. We don't need a flowery outpouring of words to feel the emotion building between them – in fact, the space created by fewer words carries its own intensity. Such a sweet moment captured, that leaves you with a feeling of hopefulness. Lovely!
