←Recommendations of Deeper

There are some plays you read that will leave you feeling torn between your emotions and Deeper is certainly one of them. I felt a lot like Morey who said he read it twice and the first time he smiled and the other time he cried. it's that good at pulling out both emotions and in the end, we all want to be like Andrew when it the end comes, just having someone we love close-by to ease that transition and to know we were at least loved a little during our time on earth!

I read this twice. The first time I smiled. The second time I cried. DEEPER has the wonderful breezy banter that Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn does so well. But it’s also infused with a darkness, a feeling of uncertainty. The allusion to Hamlet and our sense of free will to change our life or end it will have a profound effect on audiences. But Jacquie also presents us with hope. That whatever path we choose, it’s better if we have someone to hold our hand along the way. A lovely play that I would want to see several times.

"Deeper" is a fabulous piece where all the way through you think you know where the story is going and every time you are spun in a different direction. Jacquelyn has taken what is a dark moment for most people and laced it with humour complete with a touching moment about human connection. We always think about the influence people have on our lives but this brilliant piece makes you think about the influence people have over our deaths. Jacquelyn constructs two wonderfully unique characters and intertwines their stories in a wonderful and emotional way.

What happens when a meet cute might just be the end of it all? This is a great short with wonderful characters who embody a natural sense of awkward meetings, dark feelings, and the desperation of solitude. Funny and sad, wise and fresh, I enjoyed it immensely.

I totally enjoyed this play, Deeper, right up my street. It is very well constructed, I can clearly see it being played out and the ending was not as I expected, which I love! This has left me with so many questions, I may well read it again! Wonderful play!

A play that, on the surface (pun intended), looks like a darkly comic take on death, but actually takes on more weighty topics like free will and making decisions that will better us as people, instead of staying in a bad situation. Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn always writes deeper (again, pun intended) that you think, and this play will stay with you long after you've read it, of better yet, seen it performed.

DEEPER is the type of play that sits with you. It's a beautiful story with unexpected twists – an inspiring and funny two-hander about a dark topic. Change and free will are at the center of Andrew and Ophelia's situation. This witty show with fantastic characters will shine on stage and is sure to deliver moments that linger with the audience. DEEPER is witty and touching, with some brilliant unexpected shifts.

Combining the supernatural with admin is always a winning combination. Throw in a little Shakespeare and a twist or turn on every page, and you get DEEPER.

Andrew and Ophelia’s individual frustrations have brought them to a mutual juncture. The specifics as to how they got here aren’t as important as the fact that Here They Are! One on borrowed time and the other in a borrowed body.

Floyd-Priskorn gives each their own jittery, impatient wit - the kind that’s magnified by a bad day and demands a deeper connection. Hilarious, elegant, and unexpected!

JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN has created a play with a fascinating plot - a young man Is ready to commit suicide. Then, with the appearance of the Angel of Death, a feeling of hope comes to Andrew. He willing takes the steps towards something - better? “Deeper” challenges our imagination. It is a wonderful play!

A lovely little fable, an adept blend of thoroughly charming and life-affirming with fairly dark subject matter. Themes of free will and existential despair interweave in interesting ways and are given real weight. I also love the characterization of the angel of death and the general light and gentle touch balanced with the heavy themes. I can imagine so many moments in this short piece reading as magical on stage.
