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.

    Goodness! A play with all the Subject Matter Keywords presented in the most hilarious possible way! Fun and fast and delicious. The dialogue is quick and natural in spite of the surreal setting. I loved the story line - Deb Hiett creates a slice of non reality that smacks of truth and the glory of the quantum world. Terrific stuff!

    Deb Hiett is the rarest of things--a contemporary playwright who writes comedies that are actually funny. I loved this play from the first page and was surprised and invigorated until the end. THIS IS CRAZY is also crazy theatrical in the best way. Produce this and all of Deb's brilliantly funny plays!

    I laughed sooooo hard at the reading of THIS IS CRAZY. Only Deb Hiett can write such delicious absurdity with such humanity. It is a deeply funny and deeply satisfying play, resonant with love and hope.
