←Recommendations of Samson

I really liked how delicately this story is transitioned into the modern world. I especially loved that Samson's eyes are blindfolded, further stripping him of his dignity while also bringing clarity. It’s just a brief monologue, yet it sets off a series of events involving many characters.

I can see a whole series of these tales alluding to Biblical pride, folly, greed, cruelty etc told through a lens only Ken Love could conjure up. Intense!

Why, why, why, Delilah?! Just because she was impressed with his hair or was she working with those Philistine scoundrels? We may never know, but what we do know is that Ken Love has given us an interesting update of a biblical story and a monologue for any actor able to live up to the name, Samson.

Looks like you figured out a secret to very short plays that I would not have thought of. By alluding to the biblical Samson, the savvy reader, knows some of the back story and can enjoy the character as he would respond in today's world. Maybe I'll try a one-minute play.

Leave it to Ken to give us a brief, seriocomic, quasi-biblical retelling that resonates effectively with the modern age. It certainly served its purpose of being an engrossing "two minute" (great piece for an actor to dig into, methinks), but I can't lie that I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the eventual epic huntdown of the Philistines who violated Samson as well. That being said, excellent short play!

Keep this guy away from the jawbones! This is an intense examination of a man whose strength is compromised by a woman and copious alcohol. Solid scene for one actor to unleash his internal aggressions.
