Concise, powerful, chilling. Gonzalez wields his pen like a scalpel and cuts right into the core with just one page. Incredible work as always.

Gonzalez's dramatic sleight-of-hand in "Corona with ICE" would make O. Henry proud. In less than a minute, audience perceptions are upended.

This short play is a one-two punch that comes at you with such speed that you don't know what hit you. Who--or what--is the real threat to our communities? ICE? Bigotry? A virus? This play will leave the audience thinking long after the dialogue is over.

How is it possible to put so much into one page. The power of the words "Foreign", "Virus", "Threat" never packed a stronger punch as when those phrases come out of Simmons mouth.

In a single page, Gonzalez creates 2 fleshed out characters and then pulls the rug under you with a duly scathing response to today's America.

Sharp, acerbic commentary on how we justify the hostility we aim at what we fear. A wonderful short short highlighting humanity's irrationality.

Ouch! This snippet of a play hits hard, especially with the current politics and our daily lives so restricted. Franky is such a clever writer!
