    "Best Friends Forever" by Samantha Oty is a chilling and intense exploration of friendship, betrayal, and the dark depths of human nature. The play skillfully explores the consequences of unchecked ambition and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect their secrets and maintain their facade of innocence. The dynamic between the two characters is fraught with tension and ambiguity, keeping the audience on edge as they navigate the shifting power dynamics and hidden agendas. Oty's skillful writing and deft exploration of dark themes make for a riveting theatrical experience.

    Best Friends Forever was part of The Pharmacy Theatre's new play festival this year. Oty delivered solid characters, dialogue that provides character development, and a wild ride!

    Not what I expected at all. There are several twists and turns that should surprise and delight you. Solid characters, interesting dialogue and quite the surprise ending. Highly recommend!

    The premise is very intriguing and whenever someone opens up a time capsule you know the results will be life changing. Oty does a great job with the dialogue and provides us a nice background of these characters and how their past influenced their future. I can see this play even be expanded to a one act.

    There’s a refreshing candor Oty brings to this script; we pretty much know how it’s going to end from the get go, as her characters are so clearly delineated — from the very first words they speak we know who’s the user and who’s the usee. But Oty is so upfront with who these two are and the language she uses to tell their story (her exposition is minimal and masterful) that one is swept up and carried along to the inevitable conclusion and still enjoys the ride.
