Bronte's Mom

    As a fur brother, I’ve never actually dealt with puppies, only bigger dogs, but I’ve definitely had my share of “wet spots” and other things.

    Priskorn’s play “Bronte’s Mom” is a marvelous juxtaposition between what it means to be there for others (animals too) and for yourself. This lovely piece would be fun to produce as it is so relatable in everyday life. Read. Produce. Repeat. Well done!

    Being guilty as a fur dad myself I can totally relate to this couple and l their love for Bronte, even if she has destroyed an expensive shoe! This is a sweet two hander with a sadness behind it, but the love they have for each other (and Bronte of course!) is real and beautiful. Nice!
