←Recommendations of Oh, No! I Flew Too Close to the Sun!

This was great fun to read and I can imagine how hilarious it would be on stage! Perfect short play. Bravo!

I saw a reading of this hysterically funny play, and it brought the house down. Smart, witty, and big fun for the cast. Insert this brilliant little gem into your ten-minute play fest!

Well, consider me thoroughly charmed. Festus is playing Icarus in a performance at the Colosseum, but once he's told what the role entails, he's no longer interested. A hilarious premise, moved along by stellar dialogue, this short play is smart and too much fun.

Talk about method acting, this hilarious short piece soars better than Icarus in a catapult thanks to Rand Higbee's zany premise, inspired dialogue and an ending that kills, so to speak. Really fun stuff here. Would love to see this staged.

RAND HIGBEE has written a witty play of an ‘actor’ at first worried about potential stage fright, then wondering if the role may be a bit too much, and then realizing it’s not the number of lines an actor gets to say, but what the actor needs to do to perform. Ouch! Oh, that wasn’t in the script. This is a laugh out loud play with a great title, “Oh, No! I Few Too Close To The Sun!

Oh, boy, this is hilariously brutal, and probably as much fun to perform as it is to read and/or watch.

I had an opportunity to direct Rand Higbee's comedy at our college and I placed it as our closer for the bill of 10-minute plays that we produced. It certainly delivered a strong conclusion to the evening as the audience greatly enjoyed his ability to create a memorable comedic situation and characters. I also had a lot of fun creating the sound design for the final offstage moments. Read it, and enjoy!

Delightful and entertaining. I wished I had gotten to see it in Edmunds when it was there during their 10-minute festival.

A play where method acting should have no place. A play that scares you while you laugh. In a scant ten-minutes, politics, mythology and theatre are skewerd and we still laugh. Because it is that frightening.

Higbee's Icarus entitled, Oh, No! I Flew Too Close To The Sun! is a Brilliant play that makes me wonder about Society and the Responsibilities we have to each other, and how often we fail. And if we couldn't laugh, then Life would really suck. The jokey stuff - in abundance here - works!
