  • Claudia Haas: COMPLIMENTARY WIFI by Rachael Carnes
    “

    If you've ever been terrorized by a minibar in a luxury hotel or wondered about the cleanliness of those pillows, this is your play. The play seems simple: an anniversary night in a luxury hotel. Do you whoop it up for all its worth trying out every so-called freebee (complimentary wifi, plush robe, body pillows)? You know this couple. You know they've been together for many years. Their intimacies, frustrations and declarations as they jumped subjects and emotions were a treat. You have to love the ending with the goldfish. Read it. Produce it.

    Oh man, I love this! Everybody who's been in a long-term relationship knows that just because you're in a fancy hotel room, you don't become other people. The deconstruction of that elusive fantasy, and the realism that pervades, make this piece a delight. And the end is exactly what it needs to be without going over the top. Lovely.

    I'm almost at a loss for words due to how much I like this writer; Carnes has smart, tight, tense dialogue. It's simple, yet dense, filled to the brim; actors are given everything; it would be a lively discussion if anyone wanted to change something. Seriously, give this your all. There are non sequiturs here that make the case for non sequiturs. Drama is everywhere, Carnes must know this, it's in a mini fridge, it's in fruit, it's in a door-knock, it's in self-declaration (no matter how trivial). What a fun playwright, this Rachael Carnes; sensitive, insightful, hilarious.
