Stand Still

    A great short monologue filled with unexpected turns and surprises. I love the relationship between Rachel and Eddie even though we never get to see Eddie onstage. Samantha Cooper creates great characters and an original and engaging premise. Would love to see this performed at short play festivals!

    There are plays you read where you don't just want to know what happens, you NEED to. This is one such example. The rare event of finding yourself face to face with a bear makes this piece a unique idea to start with but the way the writer structures it, with the build of tension that holds you spellbound, that makes this piece brilliant.

    An absolute thrill about a grizzly bear encounter that takes us into a gripping adventure. Well done.
