←Recommendations of What Did You Think Of Me?

Dan Taube's clever and well-crafted play "What Did You Think of Me" took me right back to one of my roommates my freshman year in college and the challenges she presented. I wonder if I would have viewed her differently after reading this play. And that's the power of theatre - to enhance empathy in its readers and viewers. Playwright Taube has crafted a resonant two-handers with many reveals and reversals. He beautifully captures two opposing personalities and searching for commonality.

Set in a small New York apartment, Dan Taube's "WHAT DID YOU THINK OF ME?" contrasts two college roommates' lives, highlighting their differing personalities. I enjoyed how the play explored themes of identity, self-worth, and the power of honesty. This piece is perfect for showcasing strong performances, offering a relatable exploration of the challenges of growing up and finding common ground. The narrative unfolds naturally, culminating in a heartwarming resolution. Ideal for a pair of young actors, this play balances both comedic and dramatic elements effectively!

This short piece about a pair of college roommates with little in common takes you on a journey as they smoke pot and get veeery honest with each other. The twists and turns flow naturally, and the resolution is sweet. This would be a great play for a pair of young actors, as they have both comedy and drama to work with and mine.

A fun look at the risks and rewards of honesty. Taube's characters embody a classic clash in lifestyles, while still existing within their own dynamic. While the confrontation gives the appearance of heading in one expected direction at the beginning, it then shifting in direction multiple times, while still staying true to the storyline of two very different people trying to understand each other.

There's some great interaction between the two characters in this lovely two hander by Taube, I completely believed in them both. We see their tense relationship shift in several ways in just a short piece, as usual with me, I wanted more! I can clearly see this being staged.

A great exercise in dialogue by Mr. Taube. Characters are well written and begging to be explored by talented actors. Taube writes between the lines and captures both female voices with skill. Would love to see this staged.

Dan Taube has written a short play that would great for young actors, with multiple beats and subtext in a heated exchange between two college roommates who apparently have been holding back their true thoughts about each other for some time. The pot seems to loosen their tongues and they reach an understanding. I can see this working well onstage and in an acting class.
