←Recommendations of Grown-Ass Louis

A clever yet strange, hilarious play. It is so unique and strange but also makes you feel as a reader for the play's protagonist. This dark comedy does a beautiful job of cracking jokes but also warming/breaking your heart. I definitely suggest it to new readers!!

This play poses a very unique way of looking at how loss and the doubt of religion can effect an individuals ability to grow and move on. A truly immersive read, and I really enjoyed it.

BRUCE WALSH explores the dream of a young man to reconnect with his deceased father. ‘Grown-Ass Louis’ is about the hope we all share to, once again, hear from our dearly departed. Can a ballon float up to that place where a message can be received by someone who no longer walks among us.? If so, will there be a response, which we desperately want to hear? A touching play for all.

A beautifully realized exploration of grief, hope, and faith, written with a wry wit and a strong sense of structure. What might otherwise have been twee and predictable is a finely layered meditation on how we process loss.

So beautifully written. Gives the reader a sense of hope and can really connect with those who have lost loved ones.

This play is such a shining example of how much emotion and storytelling can be packed into a 10-minute play without it ever feeling overstuffed. A gorgeous, dreamy, and intelligent study of grief and growing up—and how complicated things can become when those two processes are intertwined. I hope to see it in performance one day, but it's also a great example for those just starting out with writing short plays or those who want an example of a really good one!

It has been years since I saw this play. And I think about it often. A fantastic look at loss and letting go, this is a short play that hits you in a way that rings true for those of us who have experienced loss at a young age. This is funny, heartfelt, and amazingly smart. This is an example of the power that 10 min plays can have.

A very heartwarming, visually appealing play. A great and wonderful concept.

This play is everything perfect and wonderful about the 10-minute play format and theatre in general. In case it's not obvious, I love it.

I feel just like Grown-Ass Louis all the time. My mother died when I was young, and it's unbearable to go on living further and further away from her death every moment of every day. And Grown-Ass Louis feels the same way as far as I can tell in this funny, mordant play - I don't think I've ever used that word before. It means biting and makes me think of Grown-Ass Louis's mother and her ass-cheek. I have to say I really like this play!
