  • Nathan Christopher: Knock Over the Milk Bottles - Win A Prize!

    I recently saw this charming play at the Gi60 NYC Festival, and it's really fun. There's a lot of room for each of the bottles to have their own personality, which is a joy for any actor. And seeing an eternal carnival injustice rectified is immensely satisfying. Well done!

    Dana Hall is amazing. Now that I've seen the show, I feel compelled to recommend this show again. The acting in the video is superb, really well done. The mutiny and relationship between the milk bottles and the "ah has" really do bring this quick little show to life. That and it's a fantastic hero play.

    Word gets out fast and as a kid I shied away from the milk-bottle game at the county fair. This fine very short play demonstrates how even losing isn't always a sure bet. KNOCK OVER THE MILK BOTTLES - WIN A PRIZE! reminds us what all of us big and little need to remember - that anything can happen.

    There's justice in the world, after all! Thanks Dana. As someone who has been to a fair share of carnivals in my youth, I wondered why I could never win a prize at these games. Now I know. But luckily, sometimes, someone does the right thing for the right reason, even if it's just a couple of weighted milk bottles. We all win the prize here, seeing this play out.

    Utterly charming, funny and sweet one-minute play featuring three carnival milk bottles. Loved it!

  • Scott Sickles: Knock Over the Milk Bottles - Win A Prize!

    A weighty treatise on identity and ethics as three pawns in a longstanding con game come to grips with the spiritual cost of doing business. In one furious minute, innocence is lost to self-awareness as the big picture of our protagonist's life reveals itself to be infinitely vast and dark. Yet, Hall instills this inanimate object with agency and agony, inspiring them to call upon their comrades, already resigned to their roles in this deception, reminding the audience that they too can give way to their better angels and change the outcome. An existential triumph!

    WHAT A FABULOUS VERY SHORT PLAY! Innocent is lost and then reclaimed again as three bottles realize the true power of taking back control in an unfair world. DANA HALL is a master at establishing vibrant characters in a very short amount of time and with very few words.

    This is an adorable short piece. Such great anthropomorphism! As Joe S. said, beautiful imagery!

    There wasn't a moment in the entirety of this play that I wasn't smiling. Dana has built a splendid piece where purpose is escalated for at least this one time. What a fantastic concept, wonderful imagery, and an ending that you root for, for all of mankind, essentially. It's so good that I even imagined the carny that works this particular game after the show ends and the explanations that would come from that. Brilliant piece by a wonderful playwright. Kudos.
