Recommendations of Biggest Fans in the Aftertime

  • Allan Maule: Biggest Fans in the Aftertime

    Right from the start, the post-apocalyptic premise of this play had me hooked. Then Lam skillfully sets up some wildly original characters and funny dialog, landing with a resonant theme of who owns widely-read stories. This one is a blast and easy to recommend.

    This play will speak to you if you're a aficionado of science-fiction, fan-fiction or any combination of the two. I am neither, but I was thoroughly entertained by Biggest Fans in the Aftertime during a reading at the Midwest Dramatists Conference 2025. The MDC actors had a ball playing these three well-developed characters, and the audience enjoyed spending time with them just as much.

    A refreshing take on a post-apocalyptic world that shows us the true horror of the after times: un-met expectations. Humor and danger play well together in this great play by Greg Lam. Featured at the 2025 Midwest Dramatists Conference.

  • John Busser: Biggest Fans in the Aftertime

    10.21.25 - Going against the old chestnut of "Never Meet Your Heroes", Greg Lam gives funny to the Apocalypse with an author finding out that his fans are literally in the last place he ever thought he'd find them even as he discovers that the works that gained him those fans ISN'T quite as accurate as he envisioned. This was a fun play I got a chance to hear at the Midwest Dramatist Conference, and the audience seemed to delight in it as much as the post-disaster fans delighted in author Mason.

    If you are a prophet of doom, what do you say when your vision becomes reality? What do your "fans" want you to say? Greg Lam plays with these ideas in this short play with humor and pathos.

  • Michael C. O'Day: Biggest Fans in the Aftertime

    A science fiction writer specializing in post-apocalyptic fiction meets his two biggest fans after the apocalypse happens for real. Greg Lam’s pitch black, joyfully bonkers comedy isn’t just a send up of dystopian storytelling tropes (though those are ON POINT), but a shrewd piece of science fiction in it’s own right, reminding us that our fictional warnings of doom won’t matter to people actively rooting for the apocalypse. A blast.

    In this post-apocalyptic comedy, we discover that fandom will survive the end of times! It's like "Mad Max" and "Misery" had a very funny mutant baby. Simply fantastic and I can't wait to see this in full production. Bravo!
