Recommendations of Storm on Storm

  • Susan Middaugh: Storm on Storm

    Gary Garrison's play is a great example of playwriting. Conflict from page on3. The drama escalates with Chicky's reading of each letter. Of course, Gary won awards and had productions.

  • James Binz: Storm on Storm

    A unique premise leading to a deeper story. Norton is lucky to have this woman and the story is well told and makes us empathetic to them both. The dialogue is wonderful and there is anticipation as we see the tale unfold. This would be terrific on stage.

  • Michele Clarke: Storm on Storm

    A taut and hilarious look at fate, exasperation, and the push-and-pull of marriage. The 2023 reading by the Truro Playwrights Collective was delicious -- see it live if you can.

  • Bruce Karp: Storm on Storm

    A great premise, well-executed, funny, then ultimately heart-tugging. Imagine being able to end a drought, just by showing up? (I personally can do it by getting my car washed, but that's another story.) Southern California needs you, Norton! Seriously, though, the play provides two solid acting roles and lots of laughs and should be produced.

  • Brian Cern: Storm on Storm

    Fun and thought provoking, the the notion of Norton traveling the country to solve an areas weather issues bright outright laughter.
    But in the comedy, there is a real human core, of two people connecting through tragedy.
    A delightful read, I very much enjoyed.

    Love this on so many different levels.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Storm on Storm

    A walking pathetic fallacy! Loved it. Witty banter juxtaposed with real warmth despite the cold atmospheric weather throughout. Well done!

  • Ricardo Soltero-Brown: Storm on Storm

    A sweet soupçon of romance, a well knitted and effective short mixed with the ingredients of a 1930s remarriage comedy and a Mike Leigh family drama. Chicky has been living with Norton's peculiar problem for long enough, but what causes her to confront him about it and task him with going at it from each angle possible? It's now effecting their daughter...her wedding no less. Although actually solving every aspect of their circumstance is basically unrealistic, the play serves as a reflection on accepting all of the good and the bad that comes with the one you love.

  • Paul Donnelly: Storm on Storm

    A wild yet sweet-natured comic ride! Norton and Chicky contend with inner storms that are far more potent than the meteorologic plague that has befallen Norton. A wacky seeming premise leads to real depth of character development and a satisfying romantic ending.

  • Jo Brisbane: Storm on Storm

    The initial premise of this ten-minute gem -- a twice-struck man, banished from his daughter's wedding as "weather-provoking" -- rumbles forward like a prairie thunderstorm. In the play's short space, we learn much about the parents of the bride, as they both inflict damage and heal themselves. Barbs are flung between them, and yet the play delivers a sweet and simple, and unexpected happy ending.
