←Recommendations of SwimShare

At turns funny and unsettling, this is a play that the audience will be arguing about in the lobby. A gripping read.

So many things to love in this horror about uninvited guests -- everything immediately goes against Anna and Nelson from the start and only gets worse; so much is set up early and naturally, making the climax inevitable; the way Vicki and Leo communicate ... audiences will get goosebumps galore.

Swimshare was a delightfully eerie read. What began as a quirky misunderstanding soon revealed unsettling depths beneath its premise. I raced through the pages, captivated by the delightful subtext Robert Weibezahl so cleverly wove throughout, leaving me guessing until the final image. With its sharp writing, eerie intrigue, and palpable tension, this short is a gift for actors and directors.

Robert Weibezahl has a skill to make a comedy unsettling and uncomfortable. The longer I read, the more uncomfortable I got and that’s what makes this piece so unique and fascinating. I really liked how Weibezahl layers the action and each reveal is not spoiled, they are all naturally layered which gives us a fantastic ending.

Delightfully unsettling, SwimShare provides a nice suburban couple with the intruders from hell. The comical vulgarity and presumption of the intruders push the couple to the breaking point. And perhaps beyond. The dialogue paints a vivid portrait of the entitled and boorish wife and the unspoken responses illuminate her husband and the "host" couple. The situation is novel and engaging, This is a dark comedy worthy of the name. It would be such fun to see all four characters brought to life.

Splash into this Roald Dahl-ish tale of the unexpected short! As delicious as a juicy mango, this four hander would be a delight for director & crew to stage in the 21st equivalent of the suburbia in Burt Lancaster’s The Swimmer. At first seemingly about the entitled Airbnb generation & riffing on possible real life hoaxes, this twists and turns & sizzles in swimming pool sunshine with a dash of sexual tension thrown in until the final deep dive.

ROBERT WEIBEZAHL takes us on a most interesting stopover to a backyard pool. One might think it would only be neighborly to share. But then again, maybe privacy is a better choice. “SwimShare” is truly weird, wonderful, and wacky.

Love this play! A perfectly absurd situation with all kinds of interesting undertones and subtext. Two couples meet under very bizarre circumstances and what results is delightful AND frightening. Loved the ending and you will too! Highly recommended!
