  • Marcia Eppich-Harris: The Peculiar Puppets of Philip Platt

    We never stop needing our friends -- real or imaginary. I really love the breakthrough in this piece: understanding that that need for friendship and community is real, even if we're exploring it with puppets. There are some great lines in here, too, so lots of range for actors to run with. Well done!

    Brenton Kniess crafted a wonderfully moving short piece regarding a man dealing with grief and struggling to move on. Who knew a couple of quirky puppets could be so delightfully insightful? The Peculiar Puppets of Philip Platt would be a great addition to a short play festival. Well done Brenton!

    The Peculiar Puppets of Philip Platt is a heartwarming ten-minute play taking on big themes like grief, friendship, and self-discovery with a perfect blend of humor. The way it uses puppets to depict Philip's inner turmoil is both absurd and beautiful. It is an elegant character study that reminds us not to give up on those who are suffering. "I want to be more than good. I want to be happy, to feel loved, I want to feel…alive." Beautiful words!
