←Recommendations of FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama

I've read this 10 minute play a few times, and I love the structure and the way the play unfolded.

This short, heart-wrenching piece richly deserves all the productions and accolades it has received. Spare, incisive and truthful, the concept is a perfectly realized theatrical 'shiver' from start to finish.

Through its stark simplicity, the story speaks volumes about life, love, absence, and how a family struggles to hold its shape when a piece is missing. Both funny and heartwrenching, Rose has created a deeply moving and unforgettable short play.

An epic tale of a family in ten minutes. Brava!

A modified LaRonde in 10 minutes, with beautiful characters and that strong Arianna Rose dialogue. A model of what the 10 minute play should be. Very well done!

This play is elegant and powerful. It captures the intricacies of family dynamics. It is both tragic and even comedic in places. The language has the rhythm of poetry. The fact that Rose is able to accomplish all this in 10 very compact pages is no small feat. No wonder it's being produced widely. I would love to see this performed.

"Family by Numbers" is a masterfully capture of the essence of family life. Through a series of monologues and dialogues, it portrays the growth and challenges of a family, emphasizing the strength of bonds and the pain of loss. The flexible casting and minimal set requirements allow the actor's performances to shine, making the emotional journey of the characters the focal point. This memory play is a touching reminder of the complexities of familial relationships and the enduring impact of love and memories. It's a must-see for anyone who cherishes the intricacies of family dynamics.

This play captured for me the natural tension that exists in all families, as well as the profound grief that some experience from tragedy, while creating a sort of memorial to the idea of family we desperately hope for.

Many have stepped up to recommended this brief, lovely and tender work. Frankly, I don't know if there's anything more I could add. Except for the fact that I'm so happy I got to read it. And would love to have the fortune in seeing it performed. A family snap-shot with a small tear at the corner. Nicely done, Miss Arianna!

What an incredible play. Boils down the family dynamic to stark numbers, but then brings in heart-breaking detail. It's lyrical, funny and tragic. Relatable to everyone. Universal in scope but specific in story. Completely deserving of all the awards it has won.
