←Recommendations of But Why

A relaxing day at the beach turns into an encounter with an overbearing stranger... This is an engaging play about minding one's own business and not needing to meet anyone's expectations but your own! A wonderful listen on the THEATRICAL SHENANIGANS podcast!

YES! I love a payback piece that takes a nosey and intrusive human to task. RACHEL nails the audacity of some people and handles them with ease. The dialogue is dead on in this wonderful short lay.

Women who choose to be childless were once--and in some quarters still are--strongly vilified as unnatural beings who are threats to the social order and traitors to their gender. The persistence of that attitude, and the assumptions of those who hold it, are amply demonstrated by one of the women in the mini-debate over reproductive freedom that occurs in this play. Excellent work by Feeny-Williams, as always.

WILLIAMS’ piece “But Why” is truly masterful. A beautiful juxtaposition between the thoughts of what should happen before a woman is forty.
This play will make you think. Make you want to fight. Make you want to take a side, yet feel for both characters.

I don’t say this very often, but “Read. Produce. Repeat.” A lovely piece that any theatre should get their hands on, and one that two females would sure love to play. Brilliant. Well written. Well done.

There's not much more oppressive than a nosy, self-righteous busy-body and Rachel Feeny-Williams has created a portrait of a full-blooded and horrifying one in Helen. It is a pity that Jane is called upon to defend her life choices and heartening that she does so so eloquently.

What a powerful piece. I absolutely feel for Jane and just loved the progression of the conversation. Rachel Feeny-Williams is a mast of crafting dialogue and making the characters easy to relate to. This is a fantastic read and one I hope many get their eyes on!
