Take Me Back

by Sam Heyman

TEN MINUTE: Faryn fucked up. She kissed another girl, and Mia saw, and it all got messier than they intended. If she has a chance to explain herself, Faryn thinks she can convince Mia to give her another shot. But explanations are rarely all that are necessary to get a second chance.

Take Me Back is a story about love, and the stories that make up our love.

    I don't think anyone writes with as much empathy about the fragility of relationships as Sam Heyman does. Mia and Faryn are both sympathetic yet flawed people, and their relationship hangs by a thread that is almost past the point of breaking. The way these two struggle to decide whether or not to let it finally snap makes for a riveting 10-minute play. Bravo, Sam!

    Realistic, raw, and emotionally charged, Sam Heyman crafts a 10 minute play that has the essence of your classic early 2000s romance film. But what those movies do in 90 minutes, Heyman is able to expertly execute that in 10 minutes. The dialogue has a great rhythm and allows for the actors to truly dive into the action of the play with ease. Audiences will be compelled by Heyman’s characters and the situation he puts them in. A truly touching 10 minute play!

    This was an enjoyable, romantic 10-minute situation that Heyman created. There are effective exchanges between the two characters. The dialogue seems natural throughout. The piece has a satisfactory ending... I appreciated that it wasn't an unrealistic resolution to the situation Heyman created. This would definitely be great to see performed at a 10-minute festival!
