    A truly stylish, theatrical equivalent of a "popcorn movie," Abley captures the feel of Los Angeles, and Hollywood in particular, in this film-noirish tribute to all things movie. Endlessly fascinating, like any crack entertainment "Popcorn Girl" leaves you on the edge of your seat as the intricate plot unfolds, always one step ahead of you, and always good, thrilling fun.

    Not only a love letter to LA's silent movie scene, but also to the subtle ways we keep our lives afloat amid difficult and disconnected relationships. Full of unique, complex characters and situations.

    Abley has crafted a camp-infused love letter to a very specific art form and time period as well as an entire city and an industry. This script is well-plotted and chock full of wit, foreboding, and characters you grow to care for deeply. A fine example of an “inspired by true events” play, I imagine POPCORN GIRL would be a blast to bring to life for actors and designers alike. Highly recommended!

    Within this well-made play is a deep passion for silent film, and the kinds of characters who truly revere them. Using the characters of a young drifter and an elderly film aficionado, the audience will enjoy both a sweeping look at the history silent films and deeper insights. Yet beneath the sun-kissed surface, it's also a story about the quirky individuals who come to live in LA in the shadows, and Abley's dialogue really captures affectionately their lives and motivations.
