    It's very easy for people to parrot the things they've heard, or the things they think they've heard. Some who believe their side is righteous or holy will shout words of hate from the highest heavens. No matter whom it might hurt. This short play illustrates the consequences of telling someone they are hated. Great job, Steven.

    STEVEN G. MARTIN’s one-minute play, “ABANDONMENT”, raises one of the most important questions for a religious person: Has God abandoned me when I most need Him? This brief monologue is very powerful.

    Concise and yet beautiful and powerful when it comes to the monologue.

    A beautiful and poignant monologue that is all the more powerful in its brevity. Steve Martin pens an incredible piece about coming to terms with the difference between god and religion. The ending is touching and perfect.

    So many individuals find this intersection in their lives. The moments when they walk away from something that has defined them for so long because it no longer welcomes them. Masterfully done work by Steven G. Martin.

    Martin's powerful and haunting monologue about a crisis of faith conveys so much in its brief sixty seconds and is especially relevant for our time. Fantastic for college-age actors or older.

    This is a powerful piece for any young actor to perform. The emotional gravity of this play carries this piece. The unspoken dialogue Martin leaves for the actor is proceeded by enough emotional context that we, as the audience, can understand the subtext. It would fit beautifully for an open-mic or a collection of monologues. Lord knows we as young performers could use it.

    02.18.25 - Amazing how strong our faith seems to be when things are going well, but how easy it is to upset the applecart with just a little interference from the outside. Faith can be more a precarious perch than a strong foundation, and Steve Martin shows us this ugly truth with his character Hugh. We all have doubt, and doubt can shatter even the most rock-solid faith. Sobering stuff.

    This was a really lovely play. It's hard to be poignant in a one-minute play, but mission accomplished here.
