  • Eytan Deray: Forgive Thyself by John Busser
    “

    John Busser's comic timing in his dialogue is spot-on from the very start, and "Forgive Thyself" is very funny in that regard. But it also has a ton of heart and good questions to ask. A smart 15-minute and a sure-fire dream for actors.

    Busser has long been a master at comedy, but in this piece we watch him expand the genre as he mixes humor, with grace, with thoughtful contemplation, and heart. This original and innovative play invites us to consider belief and faith from a completely new point of view – what more can we ask of theatre? Full of surprise, humor, and meaning, this play would be a great addition to any evening of 10-minute plays and tons of fun for the actors privileged to act in it and audiences who see it.

    This crisis-of-faith play is pure gold from beginning to end. The major twist comes early, but it's a winner, and from there Busser just riffs beautifully; this is an exceptionally smart, exceptionally thought-provoking, and exceptionally funny-as-hell comedy. I loved it, and would love to see it staged. God Bless Busser! (And maybe forgive him a little, too. ;-) )
