  • Greg Mandryk: Circling the Tank by Emily McClain
    “

    If you have a costumer and set designer who are chomping at the bit to flex some creative muscle, this your show! Its production photos will certainly be more eye-catching than the people-on-a-sofa photos most theatre companies use for their websites. Apart from the visual possibilities, this play is full of heart and humor and is just demanding to be performed.

    Darkly funny, yet poignant, I can't help making friends with this tank of fish, I wish I could feed them myself.
    Circling The Tank is a great short play which I would love to see staged.

    I had the good fortune to listen to a reading of this short play during the pandemic when we were all feeling like we were "circling the tank." It was entirely fitting then and equally so now with its focus on mental health. Dark, satirical and full of humor. It was one of the first ten minute plays I'd heard in a reading and I'm glad to see it here on NPX. Brava.

    DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS PLAY!

    Emily McClain creates a dark comedy that is as charming as it bleak. I adore this fish family and their ill-fated owner. And everything from the scuba diver figuring to the floating fish make me smile. I want to produce this play! I want to stand in for the scuba diver figurine! I want to make costumes for each of the fish! This play excites me with all of its staging possibilities!

    Read this play! Recommend this play! Produce this play!
