The Reckoning Room

Recommended by

  • Eric Goudie: The Reckoning Room

    A refreshing take on a plot idea as old as Sartre's No Exit, but with an original twist that's surprising, yet totally justified. This would be a great piece for a 10-minute play contest - it even comes with its own timer.

    The Reckoning Room is a great original idea for a thriller. The clock counting down adds to the tension well. I'd love to see this developed into a full length stage play or film.

    Regrets are easy, but reckoning takes real work. BRENT ALLES takes his characters on a ride that define their futures.... well... future. ALLES builds tension with every line, and audiences will be on the edge of their seats during this anxiety filled short play.
