Four Questions

Recommended by

  • Donald Loftus: Four Questions

    A witty and engaging two-hander, Four Questions turns a simple blind date into a sharp, thought-provoking exploration of identity, faith, and modern values. Morey Norkin balances humor and tension with skillful dialogue that reveals deeper ideological divides without losing charm. The play’s clever structure and satisfying final turn leave audiences both entertained and genuinely reflective.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Four Questions

    Oh poor John on his blind date, spending half the time half off his seat ready to go! But as with any worthy play, this short has so much more to it than that, as these newly-mets (Is that a term?) get to know each other via a few deep questions, the plight to retain basic human rights emerges.
    Very good.
