←Recommendations of A Single F*cking Retweet

A perfect zoom play! We don’t honor our teachers enough and the viral reactions by the students in this play amplifies that. This play, excellently, dives us into what happens when life outside of the classroom enters the classroom. This piece would be very easy to produce and provides very meaty roles for both characters. Bravo!

This short Zoom play is great. The characters are funny, even in the midst of all the bad things happening to them, and they're written with such wonderfully natural dialogue. I especially loved the hopeful note that the play ended on - at least, I interpreted it as being hopeful. Imani Vaughn-Jones is a very engaging playwright, and I look forward to reading more!

There are many things I enjoy about the writing of Imani Vaughn-Jones, and in 'A Single F*cking Retweet' it's especially the emotional truth and honesty of the dialogue. The characters are incredibly vivid and real, and their connection/past history very clear. The retweet itself opens the world of the play to racism, signaling support vs activism, and even the burdens placed on teachers. And the final lines provide a satisfying ending while also taking my imagination to what happens next.

Vaughn-Jones embraces the necessary trend of zoom theatre and delivers with her patented wit, ferocity, and heart. A diverse cast of two delves into how social media can be used to oppress and defend. A subtle, yet saddening, event and a recognizable world builds to a pleasant surprise that leaves us with hope. A strong 10 minute for sure.

What I especially love about "A Single F*cking Retweet" is that, at the end, Kenan and Deja have hope for the future, both the immediate- and the long-term.

Imani Vaughn-Jones has written a terrific short play for virtual platforms, complete with descriptions of on-screen action. It is meant to be performed on Facetime or Zoom, and that makes it even more enjoyable.

The playwright really mines for deep emotions in this play, all in ten minutes. The subject matter(s) are timely, but the characters are what really sell this. In particular, the play depicts the lightning fast repercussions that accompany social media and what happens when the powers that be don't like what you have to say, or even to what you show support. But even that can have consequences in and of itself. Well done!
