THERE IS NO OTHER PATH

Recommended by

  • Steven G. Martin: THERE IS NO OTHER PATH

    The satire hits hard on the cosmetics industry, the marketing scammers, and social pressures on young girls. "There is No Other Path" left me cringing, laughing, and feeling angry. I hope its production history multiplies.

  • Andrew Sellon: THERE IS NO OTHER PATH

    This is a darkly funny little gem—and more true than Madison Avenue would ever want to admit. The dialogue is surprising and laugh-out-loud funny. This little hit-and-run short play is utterly unsparing in its withering (and hilarious) criticism of our commercialized, beauty-obsessed world. I can see audiences loving it!

    As blistering as the fire that starts this play, There Is No Other Path is darkly funny and sadly truer than you'd think. The product names alone are worth the price of admission here. But there's a secondary element going on here as well. Watching the logical Jocelyn slowly succumb to Barrie's blitzkrieg of bullsh*t until she becomes one of the faithful is so on track considering our culture's willingness to believe in anything that makes us feel good is both funny and chilling at the same time. This is good stuff on multiple levels.
