    Realizing they are in a play, the protagonists take matters into their own hands in order to escape foreshadowed death. How very self-aware and clever! Vermillion packs a good laugh into this one minute piece that is so very enjoyable, especially for lovers of the theatre.

    Brilliant and tense one minute play that works on so many levels of complexity. Bravo.

    A hilarious literalization and deconstruction of a perhaps-too-worshipped theatre construct, as well as an energetic one-minute physical comedy. I’d love the chance to see this in a festival someday!

    I had the pleasure of watching this play at Stage Left Theater's Fast & Furious one-minute play festival in Spokane. This was a delightful piece, one of my favorites from the event, which reminded me of the writing of David Ives (very much a compliment in my eyes and hopefully for Mr. Vermillion, too). Exquisitely timed, and plays with a well-known writing rule while adhering to it. Smart and witty and just pure, absolute fun. If Vermillion is this good in just a moment, on one page, I can't wait to see what he does with more time!
