←Recommendations of "DARK MATTER"- A Ten-Minute Science Fiction Drama

I didn’t know it was a sci-fi play when it started.

I highly recommend not knowing that but if you’re reading this, well, it’s too late for you.

IT’S TOO LATE FOR ALL OF YOU!!!

But like leading man Palmer, you won’t mind. Leading lady Marion does mind as she’s trapped in the play, unlike the delighted audience.

Loftus creates pitch perfect Noel Coward banter before skillfully revealing Marion and Palmer’s situation, trapping us all in a hostile new world. Elegant wit, gripping suspense, and escalating tension make DARK MATTER a must!

I loved the slow build up throughout the piece. Loftus has created a fun little "Body-Snatchers" style play that has a great payoff at the end. Creepy and smile-inducing at the same time.

Like all good ‘50s style science fiction, Donald Loftus’ “Dark Matter” starts out innocently enough, and then little by little, something just doesn’t feel right, the paranoia starts to creep in, and the tension builds to a chilling climax. That Loftus achieves this in barely 10 pages is a testament to his ingenuity and talent.

A very fun 50s sci-fi, I love the language and the dialogue between these two is fantastic. Funny and well done!
