←Recommendations of Ask Me Anything

Oh man! No wonder it's so hard to get a job these days! This is smart and Steve is damn near Machiavellian in his techniques. Honesty may be the best policy, but to what end?

08.29.25 - Talk about being orally penetrated... As darkly funny as it is bone-chilling, this short interview should be standard training fodder for those venturing out into corporate America today. Especially now, where we have an administration that seems hell-bent on finding fault, finding aberration and frankly, finding anything that could possibly be used against you. Just shift that attitude to then workplace and Philip Middleton Williams' play doesn't seem at all far-fetched.

A job applicant finds that the questions at his interview for a secret and highly "sensitive" job are exceedingly provocative and intrusive ("boxers or briefs" is the LEAST invasive). The increasingly agitated applicant has no idea what is going on. The audience may think they know, but then Williams throws in a sly twist that could not be more stunning. The two actors will have a great deal of fun with this delightful little comedy.

The creepiest job interview imaginable is rendered with escalating wit that builds to a beautiful kicker ending. Just when I thought this twisted play could not be funnier, I hit the laugh-out-loud funny final reversal.

Job-hunting can be a fairly demeaning experience even on a good day and Martin in Phillip Middleton William’s darkly comedic Ask Me Anything is definitely not having a good day. I absolutely loved the twist at the end!

The more I read this sly and sinister piece, the more I felt the ghost of Kafka hovering over the proceedings, and I loved it. With his playful wit Philip Middleton Williams makes it all his own: By turns funny and creepy, the play unfolds with deceptive simplicity that leads to an ending as fitting as it is surprising. Easy to produce and great roles, to boot! Well done, PMW!

I just finished ASK ME ANYTHING and it's funny and scary with the most surprising twist at the end. This is a tour de force! I had a similiar real-life interview for a government job and Philip Middleton Williams absolutely nailed it.

What a delight. A job interview gets very personal - bafflingly so - as the man being interviewed struggles to be accommodating even as he can’t understand how any of these questions are pertinent. Hilarity ensues as the questions become more and more rapid-fire, and the final button is perfection. A fantastic, hilarious short comedy.

I adored this show. I read it a few times. So much fun. Steve is so wonderfly shrewd and Martin's innocence is such a wonderful contrast. I would love to see this on stage.

Few job interviews are as harrowing as the one in this sharp, funny 10-minute play. The dialogue crackles and the rapid-fire pace of Steve's questions and Martin's answers would really zing on stage.
