Missing Ingredient

Recommended by

  • Asher Wyndham: Missing Ingredient

    Builds from sisterly banter with laughs every page over a recipe on Zoom to an intimate, heartbreaking convo on loss and mourning during Covid. Every line seems perfectly crafted. You'll be in awe at the end of this play. If you're involved in Zoom theatre, read this, produce it NOW. Most ten minutes are forgettable, not this one.

    This play reminded me of the special bond between sisters in the aftermath of a tragedy and beyond that. Colleen treated the loss of a dear one in a manner that is exquisite and does not leave an additional scar but moves towards healing. Congrats, Colleen!

    A gorgeous slice-of-life, in a life that's not normal - For anyone, is it? - in Covid-19. O'Doherty's play bubbles with bright humor and pivots dynamically, revealing an emotional depth that took my breath away. A real, resonant piece, and a terrific playground for a creative team.
