The ___ Wedding (20 minute)

Recommended by

    This bittersweet reflection on the definition of marriage is a potent reminder that love and pain often come hand and hand. In such a short space, Downing creates three well-rounded, familiar characters all at odds with what society expects of them. Complete with a delightful absurdist twist, the ___ Wedding would be the highlight of any short play festival!

    A very thoughtful and powerful moment in life; three good people all wanting the same thing, but no two needing it the same way. Love and heartbreak, dreams and nightmares, all genuinely done in 10 minutes. With the right cast, this could be joyfully devastating.
