QUICKSAND, a one person play

    This will be a fun piece for a scenic designer. And the audience will recognize themselves while laughing. Structurally and emotionally it works. I can see this playing in different cities around the world and open to interpretation.

    A metaphor for so many feelings I'm sure, for the impact of this piece is as deep as the sand, and the predicament the protagonist finds themselves in.
    This would make a great audition piece, as there are several ways to tackle it.
    Very good.

    Heyman speaks to the poet in me, in all of us. This monologue is metaphorically perfect. It hits all the right notes. Universal and pointed. Lovely work.
