    Hilarious. And true. People often want the truth, but often would rather die than hear it!

    I definitely want to see this short, hilarious play staged! Mainly to watch the nurse 'entertain' poor Mr Brown! There's never a good way to break some bad news, but there is surely a fun way, and here it is Kates great short play!

    The final line/stage direction is perfect!

    Could serve as the model for a sketch -- rings increasingly absurd changes on the premisse and ends with a twist (and then a topper).

    This humorous take on the medical world reflects on the challenges of balancing positivity with the necessity of conveying critical information. The characters, though exaggerated for comedic effect, effectively highlight the absurdities of medical communication. "Kill Them With Kindness" is a wild and entertaining ride, showcasing Kate Danley's creativity and humor.

    If I have to go, let it be like it is in KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS! I mean, at least I would go with a smile. I actually laughed out loud at this HIGHLY THEATRICAL short play. Audiences will love this absurd piece of theatre.

    This short is wildly theatrical, laugh-out-loud funny, and almost absurd in its effective simplicity! I can only imagine how much fun the cast and director would have staging the "bits" that transform this quirky comedy into a cohesive whole! The final reversal is a well-earned button on the end of what I'm certain is a goofy, high-energy variety show about... tragedy?! Laughter may not be the best medicine for Brown, but this play sure made my day!

    This killed me! But in the right way. With belly laughs. I WISH doctors were this fun. Kate Danley has crafted a funny little gem with (Yeah, I'll say it) surgical precision. My favorite bit was the greeting card. Simple yet effective. Like the best medicine.

    KATE DANLEY takes the idea of “Kill Them With Kindness” to a new level of absurdity. In her witty play, a doctor and nurse try to make a patient see the bright side of his serious medical condition - a sure way to make someone feel better, so they say. You will certainly laugh out loud with this gem.

    This is a hilarious black comedy. A simple premise that piles on so many laugh-out-laughs in just a few short pages. Well done!

    It's all about the bedside manner, tell them what they want to hear! Or maybe don't. A very funny medical comedy!
