←Recommendations of On Queue

What would happen if Samuel Beckett met up with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello on line somewhere? Morey Norkin lets his imagination off the leash and this little two-hander is a gem.

The world is rife with bad "Waiting for Godot" homages, but fortunately this isn't one of them. Strong interplay between the two characters and some very funny lines help this stand out, and some specific cultural references differentiate it from the entirely timeless/place-less original. A fun read that would make for a zippy-yet-awkward production.

If only Waiting for Godot was as short and fun as Norkin's play! Two men meet for some event and then nothing. References to famous actors aid the humor. It's a quiet pice that would add to any festival.

An engaging and funny short play. As I was reading, I thought it was a wonderful spoof of Waiting for Godot and then the characters started talking about Waiting for Godot! Filled with various references to theatre and several A-list actors, On Queue, is a winner for any audience!

What fun! A deliriously funny take on "Waiting for Godot," that requires no knowledge of "Waiting for Godot" to amuse. Meryl Streep and Michael Caine are referenced to great comic effect, one of countless witty bits in this most entertaining spoof.

"On Queue" was SUCH fun! Loved the banter and the hilarious awkwardness between these characters. We don't know where it's all going, but we don't care because it's a great ride. I would love to see this on stage. Highly recommend!

Sometimes a glazed doughnut is just a glazed doughnut - one of the many pronouncements of truth in Norkin’s play. And sometimes - well, in the scheme of things, “sometimes” doesn’t matter. Something may happen. Anything may happen. Or not. Which is refreshing.

Loved this! If you love Beckett --and even if you don't know who that is--read this. I laughed out loud reading it. It would be even better produced.

"Two guys waiting… for Godot. But he doesn’t show up.
MAN 2. And then what happens?
MAN 1. Nothing really.
MAN 2. Sounds interesting."
It IS!

It's been a while since I've laughed at a line as hard as I laughed at "A dingo ate my baby". Instead of writing about two men who have excellent chemistry, Norkin has created a play about two vastly different men who have just met, and has found the hilarity and chaos that ensues. I would absolutely love to see this show performed someday!

I've never thought about what a modern Waiting for Godot would look like, but now that I've seen this witty piece by Morey Norkin, I am convinced that On Queue is exactly what that would look like. The dialogue is snappy and clever, perfect for a spoof of Beckett's infamous comedy. I love the dichotomy between both men. You should absolutely read this piece; it'll leave you wondering if the Thing is going to start anytime soon...
