←Recommendations of Va-Va-Vicarious

I just had the pleasure of watching a performance of this by PlayZoomers, and it works perfectly! Two writers of very different genres happen to meet in an airport lounge when their flight is delayed. As they reveal themselves it turns out that their lives are nothing like the characters they create. Through their witty banter a chemistry develops and we’re left smiling at the prospect that their lives are about to become very interesting indeed.

This is a wonderful short play that would make for an excellent two-hander between two actors who have great comedic timing. It's funny, romantic, sharp, and witty, and its dialogue is so quick yet clever, Ruyle creates some very vivid imagery that is not only great for the actors, but the director as well!

I absolutely love this short play about two writers of wildly different genres finding common ground, while they are ironically grounded from their flights. Terrific, snappy dialogue and a great showcase for two actors with strong chemistry!

What a fun read. Loved the unfolding of their lives and what they both really want. Great two hander that will be an audience favorite because the characters are so real.

I’ve always wanted to meet a famous novelist and start up a conversation about writing, and now I can live vicariously through Kim Ruyle’s charmingly seductive characters. Ruyle always writes funny, naturalistic dialogue and this play is no exception. Who says writers can’t be as interesting as their characters? This would be a fun show to see. Nice work, Kim!

This "meet cute" will be a hit with all audiences whether they write or not. Two very different authors collide and ultimately explore what it is to be human... not fictional. Make a Negroni, take a long sip, and enjoy this charming short play by KIM E. RUYLE.

A charming meet cute begins this piece. This love letter to writers tackles the big common assumptions of what a writer should be, but when Ruyle begins to strip down these two as, dare I say, human beings, that humanity is charming. The playwright's own vast knowledge of the great writers adds to the magic of this flirtatious short play.
