September in Biddeford

by Greg Mandryk

We've all been there: you're watching a dreadfully dull drama that promises to go nowhere and is taking its sweet time getting there. You'd gladly offer up a kidney if the plot would only take a turn in some completely outrageous direction, but it never does. Until now. A woman reconnects with her mother in this tale of family, forgiveness, and giant flesh-eating lobsters.

    This is, in short, the most ridiculous thing I've read in ages, and that is high praise! A mash-up that defies logic yet works like gangbusters. Everyone should spend September in Biddeford.

    I love how Greg Mandryk refreshes the family melodrama and sci-fi monster invasion movies in this short parody. There are sight gags, terrific juxtaposition of dialogue, and more than a few cliched characters who are in the know. "September in Biddeford" is great fun and timeless enough to enjoy a robust production history.

    There is no such thing as the perfect play. Except SEPTEMBER IN BIDDEFORD! There's something for everyone in this 10 minute emotionally charged/action adventure tale! A split screen of genres for every fan base. So brilliant, I am mad I didn't think of it first!
