Recommendations of The Replacement

  • Donald E. Baker: The Replacement

    The concept for this hilarious little play is brilliant. What if a "Jew-will-not-replace-us" white supremacist believes he is literally being replaced by a feisty Jewish lady armed with--what else?--a "portable Jewish space laser"? Sometimes the best defense is to hit your opponent in the funny bone and in "The Replacement" Norkin hits his target perfectly. Very highly recommended.

  • John Busser: The Replacement

    Wow Morey, well done! I loved having one of these fearful morons get their comeuppance, but in a way that isn't violent or revenge-filled. The idea that someone would step up to the plate as an actual replacement is hilarious on the face of it, but the way in which it was executed was so appropriate. Sylvia basically gave Cliff what he wanted, the proof of his words, just not in the way he wanted it. And having the next generation actually step up to ask their own questions was heartening. If only it could always go this way.

  • Rachel Feeny-Williams: The Replacement

    From the moment I read the character descriptions I knew I was in for a piece that would grab my attention and it most certainly did. Its a great tale of comeuppance as his fears of being 'replaced' are realised, but not in a way you expect. That's what makes this a truly brilliant piece, the piece opens with you, as the reader expecting one thing and quickly having your expectations turned on their head. Very well constructed with deliberate misdirection.
