I had great fun producing this play for audio drama podcast Theatrical Shenanigans and its a play that just gives and gives. You have an in depth look at the industry of wrestling, both past and present and even if you're not a wrestling fan you can understand the turmoil of the fate Hollis has had inflicted on him and the choice he now has to make. It gives you tension, moments of heartache and moments that make you laugh out loud. It was a joy to produce and I think would be a joy to see!

What does it mean for something to be "real?" Is a wrestling belt "real" if the championship it represents is rigged and everyone knows it? Is "love" real if it's love for an institution that has not always been kind to you and your body? This play really asks some fantastic questions about identity, aging, and the sunk-cost fallacy, using deeply human characters with rich histories and relationships. It moves quickly, with a lovely final image that audiences will be discussing on the way home.

Whether you’re familiar with the world of wrestling or no, you’ll find yourself sucked into the highs and lows of its epic sagas during the course of Alles’ one-act. Richly drawn characters provide a thoughtful exploration of aging (particularly in the spotlights of a public facing entertainment system), but also the agonizing difficulty of what it means to walk away from our life’s trade, especially if staying means we will sideline our loved ones. A powerful ending note.
