Recommendations of Fallen to the Communists

  • Aly Kantor: Fallen to the Communists

    This play had me at the title - but this is so much more than a "period comedy" (excuse my pun - the setting is contemporary!) It's a sweet, genuine exploration of a father-daughter relationship at the intersection of grief and growth. It's full of little, relatable pops of realism that are equal parts goofy and melancholy. Both characters have little flaws that make them endearing, but they both own them as they come to understand what they really need at this strange crossroads. This is a warm, relatable two-hander that family audiences will love.

    What a touching and funny play, showing the awkward relations between fathers and daughters. The humor stems straight from the heart of the clueless characters who are caught in uncharted territory. I would love to see this staged!

    A widower's daughter just got her first period - what's a dad to do? This 10 minute play is equal parts sweet and silly. It would be a memorable one in any 10 minute play festival.

    I love this heartfelt, endearing interaction between father and daughter. More than once this play made me smile, always with an edge of relatable sadness for future conversations lost. Really, a lovely piece.

    A hilarious and deeply moving response from a father who is in over his head in this matter. Heartfelt and well done.

    A humorous quick paced almost tragedy. Endearing and funny, this play deals with a father's unavoidable nightmare with his growing daughter. Very entertaining.
