←Recommendations of Hot Blood Sundae

I love a comedy -- any play, really -- that pops with this much life and works on this many levels. Hilarious dialogue, characters to really bite into (yup, I said that), an excellent dawning reveal, further surprises, and most of all a central metaphor that's both fun and loaded with resonance: sexuality, body image, diet culture, gender expectations...all of these are there in this delicious story about appetites, and the special permissions we feel we need to give ourselves to get what we want. This does everything I want a short play to do.

This is a brilliant 'no holds barred' conversation between two women about what sex and bring in a relationship means to them. The back and forth between them were topics blend from one into the next makes for some brilliantly funny but insightful dialogue. Aly's ability to write this honestly is truly wonderful and personally, I think we all need to howl once in a while!

Aly Kantor’s not afraid to tackle some taboo subjects in this fast paced and terrific one-act. Two friends meet to discuss pending lab results and what results is a raw piece about sexuality and the freedoms men and women don’t share and how sometimes, being an outsider has enormous benefits. Snappy dialogue in a piece that’s honesty would keep an audience on its toes and howling with its characters.

I'm obsessed. I love Aly Kantor's "Hot Blood Sundae." It blends a traditional horror concept and contemporary issues in a daring new way. It's raw. It's weird. It's hilarious. And it took me on a wild ten-minute journey. Highly recommended.

Holy wow! Profane and irreverent and as I drink my morning coffee I am here for it. This is a wild two-hander, darting and weaving around myriad 'taboo' subjects with breakneck pacing and dialogue that snaps.
