←Recommendations of 37 Origami Bees

I always envy John Busser’s comedy acumen, and 37 ORIGAMI BEES is no exception. As a proud self-identifying codger, I sweated through the laughter of this dead-on depiction of AI’s terrifying takeover of our everyday lives. Nearly every other line in the play is a comic gem. Yep. Color me green.

A whole lot of fun. Brilliantly-paced dialogue, laugh-out-loud moments aplenty, and one of those scripts that makes me wish I was still brave enough to act. A clear audience-pleaser that theatre companies everywhere should seriously consider. It deserves all the NPX recommendations and productions. Top notch!

“37 Origami Bees” by John Busser brilliantly captures the frustration of dealing with smart technology, turning a simple song request into a hilarious spiral of chaos. With razor-sharp dialogue and a perfectly absurd escalation, this play is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

This version of the 37 bee title is totally hilarious!
Lots of back and forth between the protagonist and Alexa,which bubbles up to the inevitable climax.
Sprinkled in a subtle mentions of othe 37 Bee writers, a nice touch.
This would bee a great audio, which people will swarm to listen to.

John’s “37 Origami Bees” is a comedy for the ‘not so tech savvy’ people of the world. Me included. Who loves tech assistants these days? Regardless, the play is a lovely touch on what it means to not get what you want went you ask for it. The play is about passion and music. Produce. Produce. Produce!

This is a fast-paced and hilarious exchange between man and intelligent machine, all in pursuit of listening to a particular song — or denying that song more time on the airwaves, as the case is with Alexa. The free-associative way of Alexa’s constant searching and presumptuous support is endlessly entertaining, anchored by Busser’s witty perspective on modern tech. A fantastic short.

I think what makes this play so effective is just how relatable it is. How many times have you found yourself chastising technology (or saying please to a LLM)? However, an observant audience will also have a BLAST finding the theatrical easter eggs that Busser has hidden for us, offering a new surprise on nearly every page. I adore the way he amped up the pace by introducing the second always-on device. It's hilarious from beginning to end! Pro tip: unplug Alexa before reading this aloud - LOL.

A quick, hilarious romp! This reminds me why I always say "thank you" to AI-powered machines, just in case they become more sentient as time goes on. Be prepared to laugh uproariously (and perhaps side-eye your in-home AI equipment whenever you walk past it...).

Thanks to this brilliant play, I'm never going to hear "99 Luftballons" and not laugh. Thank you, John Busser. This was a non-stop laugh.

LOL! Leave it Busser to create hilarity with AI using the 37 Origami Bee prompt. So irreverent! So relevant! So much fun! Alexa - produce this!
