←Recommendations of Slow Dating

What a fantastic play. Using light humor and heart, Adam has written a wonderful piece about love, sex, desire, and aging.

Adam Szudrich has crafted a touching monologue sprinkled with just the right amount of humor, ending with an unexpected twist that pulls at the heartstrings. SLOW DATING will take audiences on a lovely emotional roller coaster ride.

Sharp monologue about sex, love, comfort and yearning in those elder years. Those years largely forgotten in theatre but come to us all - if we are lucky,.

Sharp witted and sharply observed, this is an elegant monologue about the possibilities of romance, sex, and connection later in life. It’s no wonder it’s been produced so often. Simple to stage and a tour de force for the performer, SLOW DATING is a crowd pleaser that stays with your heart and your head well after the ride home.

I just saw this performed by a masterful actress at the Hindsight 2022 International New Short Play Fest at Left Edge Theatre. A haunting and deeply felt performance piece for a seasoned actress, who knew exactly what to do with the gorgeous prose. This is a memorable work for sure.

Ester is a complex and engaging woman, with her dignity intact, through even the most comic developments. And the comedy plays strongly until the wrenching ending. A powerful and touching tour de force for an older female actor.

Storytelling at its finest! Szudrich capably melds comedy and conflict in this wonderful atmospheric monologue that captivates us with the emotional realness and complexity of love and loss. A most engaging performance piece for an older actor!

It is not often that I read a play and visualize the whole thing effortlessly in my mind, but that is exactly what I did reading this exquisite monologue. Szudrich captures the ache of loving a spouse so completely that the thought of letting go seems nearly impossible. The humor here is witty, smart and respectful of an older woman with a lot of love left in her. Absolutely beautiful!

A monologue to sweep up reader and audience as married Ester on the spur of the moment joins a seniors’ speed dating meet up. Taking place in four locations as well as the mind of Ester, this has the feel of a fully rounded play and character. An affecting and superbly crafted piece for an older female actor with an acerbic medical aside and economical in its use of words to crescendo yet stopping any descent into sentimentality.

A gorgeous remembrance of love. Holding on, letting go… Szudrich finds all the elements that make up a relationship - past and present.
