←Recommendations of Squisher's Atonement

If there is a heaven, I hope it’s the way Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn depicts it in this clever piece. Even with an overzealous stand-in like Helena at the front desk. This play is both funny and comforting. And then there’s that outrageous ending! A JFP classic!

A sign of a great writer is to approach a difficult emotional story (What is more so than being dead?) and treat it with respect, humour and dignity. Here Jacquelyn does just that with her own unique style, in the way she creates three great characters in SQUISHERS ATONEMENT. Helena is a wonderful character, sincere and business like until the truth of her being is revealed.
Then the playwright finishes this piece with such a beautiful ending, still with careful humour, so any audience lucky enough to see this will go home smiling. Love it!

What a gem! Floyd-Priskorn's world-building rings so clearly and this delightful afterlife office is populated with characters that would be an absolute joy to perform. It's on all of our minds - What happens when - And this creative, compelling narrative gets at the messy, emotional human fears and foibles within all of us.

Sharp and hilarious spin on getting into heaven, or not, with a very funny and all-too-relevantly bureaucratic afterlife. This would be a really fun addition to any short play festival.

Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn gives us another trademark smiler of a play as she explores the bureaucracy of the afterlife and the accounting of how we treat even the tiniest creatures we come across. Plenty of fun to be had here with witty lines, imaginative world-building, and a nice twist that sends you off in a new direction.

JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN imagines what happens when you die in a witty short play. I found myself smiling and giggling until the ending when I laughed out loud. “Squisher’s Atonement” pokes fun at some of the careless things we do, the inconsistencies we have in our perceptions, and the atonement we may need to do once we enter our home beyond our Earthy existence. This is a sweet play.

What fun, in that hilariously dark, quirky Priskornian way. And the last line is killer. Laugh-out-loud killer!

From the hilarious title to the laugh-inducing last (punch)line, this is another quirky, funny, comic look at life, death and those icky things we can't help but step on. Sometimes we feel justifies, sometimes we feel incredibly guilty. And sometimes, we feel enormous glee, as we do seeing Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn's take on getting past security at the pearly gates. I love reading her work.

Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn explores the judgement before the final judgement in this dark comedy set at heaven's gate. "Squisher's Atonement" is a deft and funny exploration of our revulsion toward insects, coupled with our guilt at destroying them out of fear. Floyd-Priskorn writes witty dialogue that plays with ideas of both sin and self-defense.
