←Recommendations of Pillow Talk

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.

Wow, more twist and turns than a rollercoaster! What a fun play for actors to perform and audiences to experience. Quick paced and super fun.

It's a romantic comedy that decides it doesn't really want to be a romantic comedy, rebels, and reinvents itself as crime thriller parody, and I was totally okay with that. Definitely a fun read.

I was anticipating a romcom, but no… Pillow Talk might be short on romance, but it's long on comedy, wickedly funny dark comedy. Great set up, pacing, suspense, a quirky character (really quirky!), and a surprise ending. Terrific!

Brenton Kniess' PILLOW TALK is really weird in a really good way. Sharply drawn characters are provided with off-beat dialogue and action that moves the play along at a good pace. Sneaky creepy. I absolutely love the surprise at the end! Happily married takes on new connotations following this reading. What fun!

This piece is super fun. I love the name (leads you astray with thoughts of romantic whispers) and then the script takes you for a funny an unexpected ride. His characters are quirky, real, and well drawn.

At first I thought this would be about a collector's obsession (as a rabid comic collector, I sympathize totally), but then the play takes a hilarious left turn into Twilight Zone land. Brenton Kniess takes what could be a source of pleasure and comfort (who doesn't love to lay on a pillow) and turns it into a darkly funny murder weapon that I guarantee, an audience won't see coming, even if you placed it over their face and pushed down. Funny stuff.

Oh my god this play is utterly hilarious in a wonderfully dark way! Brenton does a fabulous job of luring you into thinking this is just about dating, right up until almost the last moment. The very real the way Olive and Ella talk about the world of dating and the perils that go along with it would be wonderfully relatable for an audience and then you get the wonderfully wild twist that is sure to provide some out loud laughter moments and leave you feeling you've scene something special!
