Tiny Baby

TEN-MINUTE: Susan's trying as hard as she can to have fun at her class reunion, which she's attending with her husband and her baby. Her tiny baby. Her really, really, really really tiny baby. Are all these people judging the size of her tiny baby?

    A very funny piece about the competitive nature of class reunions and a great metaphor on how eventually you learn not to care about having the largest measurements. Well done.

    Pfeffinger has such fun withTiny Baby where the baby is .. well tiny. How does baby show at competitive reunions? When is tiny too tiny? When do you stop caring? Absurd and poignant.

    I remember this piece from years ago when it was published in Dramatics magazine. It’s a very fun absurdist metaphor for humans at their most insecure, and what happens when those insecurities comes out. Not to mention, it beautifully captures the awkwardness of high school reunions. Great 10-minute play!
