←Recommendations of Can You Hear Me Now?

Bell and Watson must be stopped! That's the conclusion to which I came while reading this droll and witty spoof. The laugh out loud moments come fast and furious and the contemporary resonance is full of delicious irony. As much fun as this play is to read, it is clear it would be even more fun in production.

Mr. Norkin has created a very funny rift on modern technology by taking us back to communication's early days - Bell, Watson and some string. We've come a long way and I hope you'll laugh as much as I did reading this play, which manages to show in a subtle and humorous way, how much a simple idea has taken over our lives. Well done!

Eureka! Morey Norkin’s got the scenario for some fun theatre: the creative brainstorming and innovation brought to life as Bell and Watson tackle the issue of telecommunication. Now, what if we add an ear & nose hair trimmer?

Smart, funny, and very pointed satire on the invasion of smartphones and what that has done to our society. Many laugh-out-loud lines. Playwright Morey Norkin has skillfully created a comedy gem that everyone can relate to. 20-20 hindsight is a wonderful dramatic device, and Norkin uses it to full effect in Can You Hear Me Now? Read it and produce it!

Charming and clever. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW pokes fun at our own phone follies and foibles from a refreshingly naive perspective. Easy to stage. Fun to play. I adored the fast paced dialogue.

Progress can be a slow moving drudge, but nowhere is this done funnier than in Morey Norkin's CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Picking apart the logic of trying to dream up two way communication using cups and string, the play also plays on the shallowness of modern society's needs and wants, this is a satire worth seeing. Or hearing. I just hope the actors who eventually do this piece don't phone it in.

All inventions have to start somewhere! I love the seriousness in which this invention is demonstrated, then deconstructed by Bell and Watson. Just a delightful spoof on invention, technology and the desire to communicate!

What a tasty little spoof on the advent of technology! A fast and funny script with lots of room for physical comedy, just perfect for the youth play market! I enjoyed the read!

Morey Norkin's concise and able play strikes just the right farcical tone to depict two clueless scientists groping towards what will become the essential invention of our age. A nice short piece for any science-oriented festival of short plays.

A fun moment of fractured history and science based loosely on the premise that Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson had no idea what the heck they were doing when they tripped over the phone cord. This would be a great curtain-raiser for the district-wide school science fair... or any other short play festival.
