Recommendations of The Morning After (Ten Minute)

  • Andrew Martineau: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    Who’s afraid of an Albee parody? Paul Donnelly definitely isn’t, and the audience is in for some laughs. Nick and Honey may have had enough, but there is more to come the next day. Is it all just a bad hangover dream sequence? Maybe, but whatever it is, it’s awesome. Brilliant dialogue!

  • Marcia Eppich-Harris: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    For Albee fans, this is a great send up of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf! The twist at the end is completely unexpected! Poor Marth-- I mean, poor woman! And yet, for the man to have a happy ending is satisfying, especially after all that the couple has been through together. Nobody in the original had a happy ending -- at least this version gives a little hope to someone. I also enjoyed the narrator and the meta feel of the piece.

  • Morey Norkin: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    A brilliant parody of the Albee classic! The dialogue is worthy of the original, and Paul Donnelly provides an unexpected but believable twist at the end. I love the use of a Narrator to set the stage and make excuses for any theater’s budget woes. So there are no excuses. Produce this now!

  • Steven G. Martin: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    Viciously funny, with twists. Also, a love letter to "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" rather than a mockery or indictment. This 10-minute play by Paul Donnelly is one of his best.

  • Philip Middleton Williams: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    Very much in the style of parody ala Christopher Durang, Paul Donnelly serves up those two lovebirds from Edward Albee's masterpiece and makes it his own. Fun and fast and with a great twist at the end.

  • Tom Moran: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    A hilarious, uber-meta take on Albee that had me guessing until the very (surprising) end.

  • Arianna Rose: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    Wow. I did not see that ending coming! Playwright Paul Donnelly has given us a clever, thought-provoking short play on one of my favorite themes: well-known characters backstories and future forwards. Using characters styled after "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", Donnelly has fun with the oeuvre and isn't afraid of a twist or two. Extremely theatrical and a hoot to read.

  • Ian Donley: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    As a diehard Albee fan, this piece checked off all the boxes for me: it's absurd, super-meta, and the conclusion feels justified. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

  • Larry Rinkel: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    You of course have to know Albee's "Virginia Woolf" (and who among theatrical folk doesn't) to get the premise of this farcical little play, which turns the original on its end by telling us that George and Martha had a kid after all. And this kid might as well be the wholesome, cheerful young man from Albee's "Sandbox" or "American Dream." Having established his premise, Paul Donnelly throws caution to the winds as he piles twist upon twist in truly Albeeian, absurdist fashion. This piece should be great fun for audiences to see, and for actors to act.

  • Charles Scott Jones: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    Really really admire how this satire plays off the unnamed main characters of Albee’s great play. “WOMAN” is often hysterically funny in her awful way and so is “MAN” with his attempts to appease his harridan wife. Favorite line comes from Sonny. “How much has she had, Dad?” Many laughs and the twist ending is perfect!
