    Worthy of the word "hilarious", another John Busser masterpiece. Terrific onstage and a fun read as well. The usual Busser word play and characters that are almost too comic. Almost every line is a winner and the audience will be roaring by the end.

    How am I only now discovering this comic artifact from the John Busser hysterical collection?! The comic duo of Makalanii and Ebo are worthy of comparison to the other greats like Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, or Flintstone and Rubble. “…I only read the cartouche page and sports.” Genius!

    Oh, my goodness, still laughing. THE WRAP UP is a brilliant comedic mix of the ancient Egyptian world and modern-day life. Makalanii and Ebo are two happy-go-lucky slaves who LOVE their work, and High Priest Nefurtum gives them a chance to continue serving their beloved King Tut once the pyramid is done. But there’s a bit of a catch (no spoilers here). These characters practically jump off the page thanks to John Busser’s quick wit and well-crafted dialogue. I loved this play…and what a perfect script for a short movie!

    This play is reminiscent of old sketch comedy shows. I can picture the likes of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman starring in this piece! Or a Don Rickles and Johnny Carson! Fast paced word play in a classic setting. I especially love the "spelling" jokes! "That's with TWO ducks." Hilarious! A classic Busser piece!

    Oh, these poor, low level, pyramid builders! This is such a funny play, in Mr Bussers typical, brilliant style, as we see our two hapless heroes doing their best for a tyrant boss and a pharaoh whose somewhat early demise is quite an inconvenience!

    So many great lines about technology which doesn't exist yet, but my favourite line: "more gods than you can shake a serpent at"

    Love it!

    A lovely combination of the old and the new. Despite the piece being set hundreds of years ago, John gives the dialogue a brilliantly modern comedic feel. The characters and their debates tickle the funny bone right the way through. One of the things I love about John Busser as a writer is his ability to write truly different and at the same time brilliant pieces, this is just another example.

    A witty and engaging short piece. John Busser takes a popular historical figure and time period and uses it as a basis for a great comedic farce with dialogue that hooks you in from the first line and refuses to let go. Well done!

    Busser uses Egyptian myth and setting to create a workplace comedy that perfectly satirizes American capitalism. If you're producing a festival on workplace comedy, consider this one.
