    I would love to see this kind of experimental play staged, as it really needs to work not only between the two actors selling it, but between them and the audience who are asked to buy what they're selling. To me, the great challenge of a play like this is all in the delivery. One word can tell us so much, BUT context, nuance, variety and connection are where the story is built, using just these one word building blocks. By the time the monologue happens, we already have a foundation to place it on. Really interesting stuff.

    You will love Christopher Plumridge's ONE if you enjoy esteemed playwright, Annie Baker. Plumridge creates a unique set up but the payoff is oh-so excellent! This two-hander is an actor's dream come true. There is so much depth with so little being said. A real acting challenge and maybe even a stronger challenge for a director. I would love to be the ONE(see what I did there?) to bring this to life!
