This Is Crazy

by Deb Hiett

Sometimes life throws you a curveball, or, in Laila and Jackson's case, a giant, pointy, mysterious (and possibly intergalactic) Thing. Will they be able to hold on to their understanding of how the world works, achieve their hard-earned dreams, and still look their oddball neighbors in the eye again? Life is full of surprises, but this is crazy.

  • Hailey Fernandes: This Is Crazy

    This play really is crazy! So much happens but the comedy of it with the timing and double casting makes it feel like an SNL skit! Reading it made me laugh, I can only imagine how watching it would be! Hilarious! It was also refreshing to see someone who is successful in so many different aspects of their life publishing plays in their spare time. This was a really wacky, keep-you-on-your-toes kind of story!

    Part of the appeal of this script is the hilarious use of character doubling. Deb Hiett is a comedic genius with so many small pieces of the play holding specific details that warrant a chuckle when you realize them. The title serves its purpose because this play is crazy. It also holds a heart-warming relationship that prevails through all the twists and turns.

    Deb Hiett has a wonderful way of using language to create such a wonderfully creative and hilarious story. I have never laughed so much while reading a play. Her characters are so wonderfully weird but amazing, leaping right off the page. If you are a romantic comedy fan I highly recommend it because it is a gorgeous piece with so many fun twists and turns.
