Didn't See That Coming (An Evening of Plays About Fortune and Fate)

by Mark Harvey Levine

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING is eight short stories featuring ordinary people in not-so-ordinary situations. There's death and kissing, superheroes and Chinese food, and a lot of surprises.

"remarkable for the diversity and originality of its subject matter, notable for its sense of humor and laudable for its generally humanist stance. The pieces are as consistently dissimilar as they are consistently entertaining...

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING is eight short stories featuring ordinary people in not-so-ordinary situations. There's death and kissing, superheroes and Chinese food, and a lot of surprises.

"remarkable for the diversity and originality of its subject matter, notable for its sense of humor and laudable for its generally humanist stance. The pieces are as consistently dissimilar as they are consistently entertaining, which makes the evening that much more of a wonder, incorporating everything from straight-on madcap to aw-shucks sweetness... I'm betting you'll take at least a little something — on top of the laughter — from all of them. It's a tremendous evening of little theater."
Michael C. Moore, Kitsap Sun (Washington State)

    My kind of play--just a little magic in the middle of mundane reality. A kind of magical realism. Funny magic.
