The Trouble With Cashews is a brilliant piece that proves simple, relatable situations can foster absolutely brilliant comedy. I was completely drawn in and engaged the entire time. The writing is one of the most natural sounding, organic conversation I've seen. It's laugh out loud funny from start to finish. I cannot speak more highly about The Trouble with Cashews.

Anything David MacGregor pens is a gem and “The Trouble with Cashews” is no exception! David has the wonderful talent of taking something seemingly insignificant and finding very powerful meanings. With belly-busting humor! Who would’ve thought someone eating nuts would develop into a discussion of the downfall of humanity? A wonderful show for any festival but only if you want your audience to laugh!

"The Trouble with Cashews" is a new favorite short comedy. Little things mean a lot and here they are the warning signs of the complete breakdown of human civility and civilization. Tara's journey is especially rich as she changes from unaware onlooker to intense and disbelieving witness to active participant to solve the problem she sees, which I appreciate. I saw a production of "The Trouble with Cashews" in a short play festival in Michigan and joined the audience in howling with delight.

Who knew that a bowl of mixed nuts could become a harbinger of the apocalypse? The escalating hysteria of two siblings watching their aunt select out the cashews is riotously funny.

A play about nuts may seem nuts but a play about cashews can lead to the breakdown of society or saving of the world. It’s all nuts in the end but it surprises. Think about it the next time you are confronted with a large bowl of mixed nuts.

The tiniest thing can lead to a larger conflict -- and it does so brilliantly in this play. Besides being extremely funny, the play takes a woman eating a bowl of nuts and turns it into a statement on human behavior, and good and evil. A great play, in a nutshell.
