Jack Levine: Baggage by Barry Wallace

“

BARRY WALLACE makes standing in line waiting to board an airplane much more interesting than the usual mayhem. “Baggage” is a fun play. I enjoyed reading it.

“

This piece is very much cup of tea -- a little bit of humor, a little bit of absurdity, and a little bit of pathos. Wonderfully done!

John Busser: Baggage by Barry Wallace

“

05.26.25 - I think i just experienced the written equivalent of a fever dream. Or I've had a bit too much Robitussen. Either way, Barry Wallace's extremely off-kilter comedy cured what ailed me. Because laughter is the best medicine, and brother, this thing made me laugh. It's bizarre in all the best ways, from wacky boarding requirements to quirky passengers, this was a hoot and a half.
