←Recommendations of Affairs

Vivienne is one sharp businesswoman! She is more than ready for the confrontation with Helen, who has some issues with her business practices. Rachel Feeny-Williams doesn’t miss a trick (pun intended) in this nifty two-hander. Has Vivienne given Helen an offer she can’t refuse? That’s a question that will have audiences happily debating. And I would love to be part of the audience!

Rachel Feeny-Williams’s wicked, wacky, and witty sense of humor is apparent throughout this one-act play. This hilarious piece is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. Two strong female roles and a delicate situation with some fun plot twist and turns all add up to a fabulous theatrical experience. Brava!

This naughty play has two juicy roles for female actors. Vivienne defies stereotypes and comes out on top. I would enjoy seeing this performed.

There was obviously a lot of thought put into this magnificent little play. All of the circumstances and the what ifs and the how about clearly filled in. Also, the play has a magnificent sense of humor and style. You will enjoy every second of it.

It's so cool to come across a play like AFFAIRS that has such a strong historical precedent. Vivienne - as a descendent of the wily and manipulative courtesan championed by the ancient Roman comedy-writer Plautus - is hilariously always in control from the moment Helen enters her flat. I love the physical comedy of Vivienne sidestepping the blow from Helen and pulling her inside - as someone who's evaded the blow of a wronged wife a thousand times. It's also great that as she's finishing destroying Helen, Vivienne is making the bed and preparing for her next appointment. Outstanding job!

Rachel has built a pair of remarkable characters. I think we all wish we had the confidence of Vivienne, but are too often Helen’s. The forethought and purpose behind Vivienne’s dialogue had me thinking that there might’ve been a 3rd option. The ambiguous ending after a high paced act/react, was perfect. Rachel’s writing is so sublime that when you expect a twist she waits and when you least expect it, she hits you with it. Fantastic script.

Ah, what a tease, Rachel is a master in cliff hangers! Here she has written a darkly comedic two hander between a very streetwise 'professional' lady and a worried, angry wife, what ensues is a fun, awkward and downright clever stand off between the two. I think this play creates exciting roles for two enthusiastic actresses. As usual with this authors work, I'm left wanting more!
