Les accidentally hit the delete key and lost everything. IT is no help at all. Les didn't mean to delete EVERYTHING. But keeping the good stuff and getting rid of the bad stuff takes a little bit more work than just "hitting delete."

    A compact and concise package that has a whole lot to say. You could take it at face value and be entertained, but this play unpacks much larger and darker themes that have staying power. Once you buy in to what the play is doing, the final line has a chilling and lingering effect.

    Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn serves up a very powerful short play with a light and fluffy topping. Once you cut past the metaphor and get to the dark subject matter underneath, you’ll be hit with a sobering effect that will stay with you long afterward.

    This brilliant work speaks to my deepest fears of being stuck in administrative purgatory and dealing with endless tech issues. A punchy short piece that has you peeling back layers of brilliantly crafted allegory.
