←Recommendations of THE WEIRD SISTERS

I loved much about this piece. First, we'll start with the Shakespearean aspects, which is always an easy sell with me. Then, the allusions to show tunes? Check two on the "it pleases me verily" checklist. Beyond that, however, you have sharp and witty dialogue between all three of the "sisters," and you get to be amused, horrified, and sometimes both as we somewhat merrily roll along. A unique and hilarious ten minute that would do great in festivals around a certain time of year, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Really enjoyed it!

I really enjoy stories where everyone becomes friends by the end, and that's maybe not QUITE what's going on in this short, but it's in that vein, and I'm here for it. I loved the banter and learning insights into each woman's marriage to Henry slowly as the play went on. Henry himself is a character you'll find yourself hating, even as he never makes an appearance on stage, turning up only as a voice offstage. What a fun, fresh short play this is.

Henry may think he has big news for his three ex wives, but they have some news for him! Charles Scott Jones has crafted one clever short with the unseen Henry singing away in the tub and somehow leaving mysterious notes that just seem to appear out of the blue while the wives’ frustration builds. Fun reference to My Fair Lady adds to the overall enjoyment. It would be loverly to see this staged.

I love to see women take control of their lives and work together. And the comparison of Henry VIII as well as The Scottish Play is very clever. The depiction of Henry offstage in the tub the whole scene is very fun and telling of the kind of person Henry is without ever having to see him. After all, he isn't important any more to these ladies. Is he?

Charles Scott Jones fashions a darkly comic look at a man named Henry and his three ex-wives as they discuss Henry's comings and goings (literally) while he bathes and serenades them from the tub. Wicked dialogue and an appropriate ending (for Henry that is) make this a terrific play for the audience.

Seems that Henry has a type and would like to continue on the road to another marriage and wife number 4, but his ex-wives might have a thing or two to say about that before he can make it down the aisle again. All I can picture is the painting The Death of Marat as I read this funny and creepy tale.

This play would be so entertaining to watch, it's fast paced, funny and quirky! We watch the wives at first lamenting on their previous marriages to Henry, then realizing what a toe rag he's really been, it's then fun to watch them turn into the weird sisters and join him in the bathroom.....Great!

It is amazing what Charles Scott Jones can create in just ten pages. Four characters and clever, clipped dialogue carry this imaginative look at relationships to its delightful and surprising ending. Wonderfully imaginative.

Well! Just when you think having three of your ex-wives in the same room would be awkward for a man, CS Jones manages to flip your thinking on its head. As the audience you discover more information about the ladies relationships with their ex and you can't help but laugh the more absurd it gets. This, coupled with the singing interludes from the bathtub and the unexpected ending makes this a wonderful play to read and I'm sure it would be just as wonderful to see.
