  • Rand Higbee: The Menu by Cindi Sansone-Braff
    “

    I was drawn to this play by the genre description: "Dark comedy, faith-based, fantasy, science fiction..." I'm thinking, really? How can all of those fit into one short play? But after reading the first line I said "Okay. I get it now."

    I don't believe I had ever read anything by playwright Cindi Sansone-Braff, but if this fun, quirky little short is any indication of her style, I will have to read more.

    Not only is the concept of this 10-minute comedy very dark, but the execution is very snide and sour. This is the dark comedy that will pucker your mouth and sting your inner cheek.

    Cindi Sansome-Braff crafts a view of dying that is ironic and snarky. We get a brief view of Chris's history, the Everyperson Protagonist, but "The Menu" is about choices to be made in the immediate present and their future implications.

    "The Menu" is an unrelenting play that is going to be different than anything else produced in a short play festival; oh, will it stand out.
