←Recommendations of A Zoom Play

Maybe the funniest Zoom meeting you’ll ever see! A new product focus group that just can’t seem to focus! Great characters and a great turn of events when we learn what the product is! I would absolutely love to be in a Zoom audience for this!

This play is hysterically funny, with a skewed perspective and a fresh voice that make it a real delight. The use of Zoom is masterful throughout. The characters are bizarrely engaging (or is that engagingly bizarre?) and the deeper we go into the premise the more the laughs build.

Daniel Prillaman's play hooked me on the first reading, and it was even more fun to produce. It's witty and satirical with lots of quirky characters, funny dialogue, and twists in the plot. There was such a payoff when we had all the effects in place for the final recordings. It is our most popular play this season.

DANIEL PRILLAMAN has an incredible wit and takes the reader and audience on a roller-coaster type of ride with unexpected and funny ups and downs. “Focus: A Zoom Play” puts a group of eccentric employees in a Zoom business meeting. It is unlike any meeting I have ever attended. But, the humor is constant, the characters are engaging, and the focus is something audiences will do as they enjoy a really good short play.

Woah! What a ride! I don't know who would have more fun with this twisty-turny play, the audience or the actors. Awesome dark comedy and also works for zoom.

A ton of fun! Makes good use of the Zoom medium. Kooky, silly, and scary. Really interesting characters and world-building that is both specific enough for understanding and vague enough for interpretation and mystery.

Wow! I did not see the twist in Dan Prillaman's absurd Zoom play coming and I loved it! I like a writer who can turn things on a dime, and this is a wonderful example of it. And the possibilities of this on Zoom, where some creative directing can pull out all the visual gags which are sorely lacking in a lot of Zoom plays, would be fun to see played out. I'd love to see this play done for real.

This Zoom-specific play does exactly what I've come to look forward to from Daniel Prillaman plays: it sets you off down a path and then just when you're comfortable in the world, Daniel jerks the steering wheel and the narrative swerves off down a new, dangerous path. A terrific use of the medium and some beautifully open-ended opportunities for actors. Great stuff.

I absolutely cannot stop laughing at the imagery this play conjures up! Possibly the most visually and contextually funny zoom-style play I have read in a while! Proof that this format is fun and viable for audiences and artistic teams alike. The prop design team alone will have a fun time with the "fun box."
If you read one zoom-style play, I highly recommend this one! Would love to see it or even perform it!!!
