←Recommendations of FLIGHT FRIGHT (a 10 minute comedy)

Wickedly funny dialogue and dazzling physical comedy propel this play from a discussion of an impending grandson's birth through an emergency involving his father to a very vivid effort to get Judy beyond her fear of flying. We should all have friends like Carol and Joan!

A great scene for performers that can do well with comedy! This would be very enjoyable to watch and gives all three something fun to do and say. I love the subtle but realistic humor. "Why does she want to smell her watch?" had me laughing out loud. Well done!

If you’re looking for a play that gives mature actresses a chance to do physical comedy, your options a pretty limited. Luckily, there’s this little gem by Marj O’Neill-Butler. When aerophobic Judy needs to travel cross-country for a family emergency, her friends attempt to help her overcome her fear of flying with an impromptu airplane crash simulation. I’d love to see this performed!

"Flight Fright" is outstanding in expressing friendship and power of mind. The fellowship represented in the relationships between the characters and mutual support under any circumstances makes it poignant for the audience and expresses everyone's fundamental need for kindness and understanding. The topic of overcoming fears is also present in a veiled form, with a good portion of humor, giving people something to think over. It's a delightful and capturing play that combines humor, sentiment, and life wisdom.

Sometimes the best comedy comes during unexpected moments and tragic circumstances. In FLIGHT FRIGHT, Marj O'Neill-Butler delivers the lighter side of a tense situation between three older friends. Their rapport and chemistry is so clear as they challenge and confront each other in the best ways and for the best reasons. And the great physical comedy adds another layer to the already poignant themes.

The fear of flying is universal and so relatable in this 10 minute piece by Marj O'Neill-Butler, but as we see, it can be overcome with the right friends to help you out. At times funny and horrifying, this play presents us with some real stakes for Judy. Thank God her friends are there to bolster her courage, even if it means running roughshod over her so she doesn't have time to dwell on her fears. And they do it in comic style. A fun piece with great roles for older actresses.
