  • Claudia Haas: Top Shelf Tolstoy by Maximillian Gill
    “

    Our local library was remodeled not long ago and now it is hard to find a book. Gill’s satire is right on the mark. And I wonder because I can now check out videos, cd’s, art work and sports equipment - can alcohol be far behind? The juxtaposition of Erica starting a new life with a library card and the library starting a new life with alcohol makes me crave a library book accompanied by a drink. Clever, timely, and too close for comfort.

    Such a fun short play about keeping a library afloat in the midst of an economic downturn; it pairs nicely with Erica's recent downturn as a new divorcee moving to a new town. The dialogue was quick and punchy, and the characters well-developed in just a few pages. Very enjoyable.
