←Recommendations of When in Rome

They say laughter is the best medicine and Morey offers you up plenty of laughable moments in this brilliant play on words with an ancient Roman theme. To avoid spoiling it for you I will just suggest that you read it, and soon. It offers performers the chance to play some really great characters and the audience the chance to laugh out loud, a lot!

The incomparable Morey Norkin hits it out of the park once again with still another laugh-out-loud comedy, packed with clever puns, hilariously-named characters, and pitch-perfect dialogue. What a wonderful start to the day ... thank you, Morey!

Now that’s how you end a play! In a Gladiator (Movie) meets Monty Python meets Camelot way, this play delivers excitement, laughs, loads of laughs, a quick twist, and voila it’s done. So many laughs, so many ah ha’s. I’d love to see this staged or filmed or in a podcast. Fantastic show.

So much fun from so many different directions - the spoof of sword and sandal epics, the puns, the anachronisms, and my personal favorite, a nod to the musical Chicago. It has laugh out loud moments punctuated by giggles and groans. You would have to be a modern day Narcoleptis not to be convulsed with laughter throughout.

Caveat! Your bonus funnius will be tickled to the maximus by this hilarious farce that ought to be subtitled "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Coliseum." Norkin is an Imperator of wordplay, and in this panoply of shamelessness he has achieved a new height of low humor. When in Rome, have a good laugh! Two thumbs up!

I always love good sketch comedy, and this is worthy of anything Carol Burnett would have done -- I can see the casting now with her team -- and Morey Norkin does it so well with snappy jokes, groaning puns, anachronisms up the wazoo, and punch lines that land on the glutius maximus even without a serving of ginin tonicus. Try and read this without laughing out loud; go on, I dare you.

I laughed my assius off reading this hilarious piece from Morey Norkin. I would pay good money to see this produced (Are you listening, theaters? You've already sold one ticket for sure!) Packed with visual and written gags, this is the kind of thing an evening of short plays would put either first to start with a bang, or last to end with a blast! I can't recommend it enough.

"Cicero Lipschitz"! Morey, you killed me with that name! Brilliant!

If it hadn’t already won me over with ORATIUS VACUOUS, it would have sealed my love at NARCOLEPTIS! And that’s just in the Cast of Characters!

It’s every gladiator epic on laughing gas! The jokes are fast, the puns are terrible, and the melodrama escalates with vim! A sweet effervescent tonic that would give any festival comic relief or a crowd pleasing finale! An imperial thumbs-up!

How can I not recommend a play with a Topo Giglio reference right at the top? This piece is a silly, anachronistic romp through "sometime during the roman empire" - or possibly some point during the mid-1960s. It's packed to the brim with references, geometry gags, and goofy wordplay that could be straight out of a Sondheim musical. The on-stage crowd is a fantastic touch that adds an additional element of playful theatricality. All in all, it's just a lot of fun... even though it doesn't end with the violent on-stage execution I was hoping for ;-)

Hahaha!! Monty Python meets Up Pompeii by the expert hand of Mr Norkin!
I was fully expecting a walk on part for Franky Howard, such is the brilliant humour, double entendre names and a smattering of dad jokes.
More Norkinus, more!
