    “ A funny 10 minute about the potential for evil lurking in our technology. If you're a fan of Black Mirror, this is a great play for you. My favorite line was "No one in the history of ever has set out on a spiritual journey because of Comedy Central" and the title is fantastic. Highly recommend to folks looking for a 10 minute play.

    “ Scary and funny all at once. I love the concept of the magic eight ball being updated into a an evil app on your phone. It would be a great show to see live with the ever increasing aura of tension developing with every question the characters ask! I highly recommend this play!!! ”

    “ This play lives in the fantastic middle ground between funny and creepy. EDMUND FITZWATER DOESN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS FOR YOU makes you question all the technology around you, and what it may or may not know. In the same spirit as Twilight Zone with three very well written characters and spot on dialogue. Would love to see it produced! ”

    “ Equal parts funny and scary, Bohannon has created a terrifying prescient short play about the increasingly overwhelming power of technology. This is an especially important piece now with everything going on in our country--and across the world. Not only does this piece sparkle with fun dialogue, entertaining back-and-forths, and well-developed characters that any actor or actress would love to dig into, but it tells an important message that literally made my stomach drop. Highly recommended for any short play festival--especially a horror-themed one. ”

    “ This is a completely terrifying yet somehow totally delightful short play about the scary, omniscient play technology is heading. Smart, relevant, and eerie. ”

    “ A gem — Sparkling, funny, with an urgency and playfulness that shines. Writer Bohannon builds the tension to a crescendo with such economy and verve — I giggled throughout! She has zingers that sound like stand-up comedy, laugh-out-loud one-liners in the midst of rising tensions. From light humor to turning the dial to — SciFi? Horror? It's just right — Perfect tone and pacing. I just love this play! ”

    “ A fair and fantastic representation of our dependency on technology, and how funny, too. We look to our phones for all the answers, we'll do anything for a life hack. The dynamic between the three characters is actually incredibly clever writing on playwright Sharai Bohannon's part; Josie's logic and skepticism, Ainslie's frustration, and Nat's enthusiasm not only all ring true but are altogether engaging as well. The dilemma of whether or not the app has an answer to a particular question does get genuinely creepy. Actors should easily come to love playing this charming, exciting short, and it will fly. ”
