←Recommendations of A play for videoconference

Rachel's play uses simple ingredients to make us all feel safe and loved in the middle of everything being severely changed because of C-19. I said "simple" because I believe only gifted writers can achieve that. I'd recommend Soup warmly. Congrats!

A small drama with many big thoughts...fear for the family and self...a family separated by the virus, how do you stay connected? Sweet, sad and funny in it's own way. Everyone can relate having gone through this time together. Make the soup.

A beautiful play that perfectly captures the time we find ourselves in. Carnes quickly and effectively presents the realities of the anxiety and struggle to connect we experience as we're separated from those that we love. Her uncanny eye and ear take the seemingly mundane matters of everyday life and she spins them into perfect moments of poignancy.

The loving attention to detail in this play is really just wonderful. This is a piece of the moment, in the moment (set right at the beginning of the pandemic), yet will persist in relevance in how it explores ways we try to connect to our partners. Read and enjoy.

As a couple deals with separation and the stress of a pandemic, sometimes it's the soup or the way we fold our dishtowel that keeps us together. Well done.

Rachael Carnes had me at "Dishtowel". The playwright beautifully and heartbreakingly describes isolation during the pandemic in the most relatable of ways. With her usual imagination that spans the multiverse, Ms. Carnes gives us two characters to share time - and thyme - with. Read it and get it online posthaste!

This play poignantly highlights the impact of conflicting views on a relationship. The ending is very moving.
