    Oh man... for a one-minute short, this sure hits the struggles we face as playwrights hard. (And HILARIOUSLY.) I know prompts and themes from soliciting theatres are supposed to be fun and align us with their mission, but sometimes it really feels like this play. Well done! And I hope that this makes it into a ton of one-minute play festivals.

    For a piece that is half a page long, this play does in fact speak a lot. Even the way the character talks about the various 'rules' this piece is meant to adhere to, you can almost see him frantically hyperventilating at a laptop. Then, when it's over and he delivers the line, you want to stand up and cheer for him. Chris has used this piece to express his feelings about overcomplicated guidelines and has done it, in a simple but well crafted manner. To anyone who has ever worried about writing to a brief, read this, it helps.
