←Recommendations of Brompton's Truth

When the character description says “any age,” I cast in my head out of the box. My version had Human 1 as an adult and human 2 as a child.

It worked like gangbusters!

This is a beautifully simple play about the consequences of a love you know, without doubt or question, will end in loss.

The relationship between the humans is entirely dependent upon casting which means you get to choose what kind of story you want to tell and each will have its own poignancy. Play with age, gender, race, ability, even period.

The possibilities are as infinite!

Sweet and to the point. Whether you have known the love of a pet in your home or not, you can't help but be touched by this short from Jacquie Floyd. "But we will never be able to keep him" might sound sad, but in context of the play, it's the only possible statement to make. Hopefully this will stay in your mind as long as the memory of any beloved pet.

Lovely. You can bring them home but you can’t keep them. I grew up with dogs and currently have cats. It feels like an even trade: tomorrow’s grief for today’s joy. But the secret is, with time, you understand that the joy remains. And that makes it more than even.

Lovely. Especially how Human 2 stops listening to their doubt and just gives in to love. A fitting memorial to man's best friends everywhere.

Sweet, poignant, and true. You know that - if things go according to plan - you will outlive the dog, but you adopt the dog and take it home and love it forever and always anyhow, even though, ultimately, you can’t keep it. A beautiful one-minute play.

Sweet. Touching. True.

Love to Brampton… everyone’s Brompton.

BROMPTONS TRUTH is touching and sensitive. Any pet owner knows that the pain of losing a pet is horribly heartbreaking, we know it has to come, but the love they give us far out ways the pain we are left with. Slowly this pain is softened by the many fond memories shared.
A fitting tribute to a fine lad.
