←Recommendations of MAY DIVORCE BE WITH YOU (a 10 minute play)

The claws come out fast and furiously in this all-male "Private lives" sendup, and has just as many laughs. Marj O'Neill-Butler writes some hilarious dialogue that perfectly sets the tone here. But as lives go their divergent ways, people still find old connections that are hard to break, with strangely appropriate results.

This delightful riff of Noel Coward's Private Lives lacks only one thing...an equivalent of Coward's best line: "Don't quibble Sybil." May I suggest "Let's go bedward Edward. Ten pages of good gay fun.

An excellent example of a great setup leading to a surprising conclusion, with Ms. O'Neill-Butler's signature well-written, snappy and comic dialogue. Great title, too! Though reminiscent of Noel Coward, it works as a gay comedy, something Coward wasn't able to write in his day. This should be a hit in any short play festival.

I'm simply mad about the boys in this same-sex reimagining of the first act of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." Arthur and Edward are wonderfully campy and waspish as the ex-couple and Sonny and Vincent are suitably hapless as the current spouses caught in the verbal cross-fire. Coward himself could never have presented the private lives of gay couples on stage. Bravo to Marj O'Neill-Butler for doing so in this delightful homage.

A biting, witty comedy in the grand tradition of a Noel Coward farce. The characters are hysterically vicious, and at the same time...real people with all the insecurities and uncertainties of actual human beings.

This play is salty and sarcastic, biting and bitchy, and filled with love. This is a great read, humorously and artfully told by Marj O’Neil-Butler. I can’t wait to see it performed on stage.
