←Recommendations of For a Limited Time Only (The Bread Play)

During the first 20 pages I took laugh-breaks to indulge in the madness and during the last 20 I took thought-breaks. Intuitively falling into the basket-by-basket rhythm of this demented work of virtuosity. The can’t-leave component of this fine piece of insanity has pleasant associations with Bunuel’s “The Exterminating Angel” - however, with THE BREAD PLAY, Daniel Prillaman has sharpened the focus and deepened this no-exiting Hades eatery with the illuminating reciprocity of Val and Arlo. Who are so good you're willing to follow them into the Dough of Eternity because the breaking of bread will never end, amen.

This is masterful. It's funny, horrifying, with an impossible choice. Everything I love, much like unlimited breadsticks. Amazing work and I would LOVE to see this live.

This play, gluttonous and full of gluten, more than satisfied my appetite for a solid horror-comedy! An entertaining, twisted listen on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast!

Never since Homer Simpson went to hell and was force fed donuts off a conveyor belt, has anyone been made to eat so much...so much...bread!

This is an incredibly dark and funny play, the like of which only Prillaman could devise! Treat yourself by listening to Gather by the Ghost Light's excellent audio production.

I really will avoid an unlimited offer in the future, especially if Daniel is the server!

I've never laughed so much during a horror before! Superb!

I was promised a "romantic horror bread comedy" and I wasn't disappointed. Boasting an absurd premise full of what-would-I-do-in-this-situation possibilities, For a Limited Time Only would make a great addition to an evening of short horror plays.

Shocking twists that left me craving what happens next! Who knew comedy and horror could be blended together so masterfully?

The BREAD! OMG! This piece is hilarious and eerie -- Prillaman has deftly set up an absurd situation with enough of an eye to practical solutions to make it all possible in a real, live theater. At its heart, this is a play about two people in love, but there is also so much bread. It's a trip, and you should take it.

Stephen King meets Red Shoe Diaries at the Olive Garden is a horrifying concept when you think about it. Daniel Prillaman has obviously thought about it. This simple story becomes an existential horror when a deal too good to be true (or Hell of a Deal as the play puts it) turns out to be just that. As cringey as the thought of eternity in a restaurant eating nothing but bread is (okay, there IS some other eating going on, but I don't want to spoil that) makes this one eatery missing a boatload of Michelin stars. Foodie fun!

This is a Pandemic play that does not reference covid, lockdowns, or 2020. This play is about a couple who can't leave a restaurant until they eat all the bread in their unlimited bread order (Hell of a Deal!) but the isolation and sense of dread that accompany this play are so deeply rooted in the experiences of 2020 that we are able to process the those events through absurdism, comedy, and sex jokes. This play would be amazing onstage!

Bravo, Daniel!

With an original concept, Prillaman does great work weaving all the elements together to create this terrifying tale. Prillaman brings all the elements necessary to bring this horror comedy to life. This play will sure to get audiences laughing and horrified.
