    Ahhh! Brenton Kniess has a gift for taking the audience on a rollercoaster ride that can be both charming and perhaps a little terrifying. PILLOW TALK starts as an engaging romantic comedy and, although I only guessed half of where we were going, it finishes with a brilliant ending sequence not to be forgotten.

    Love this short play! Goofy, fun, twisty, and a surprise at the end. Seems to be a good representation of the modern dating life, with a bit of homicide thrown in.

    This dark comedy is a reminder of how little we know about each other (and our violent tendencies). Brenton Kniess sets up the play with delicacy only to have the twist slap us in the face.
