The piece really hinges on the chemistry between the two performers, and there’s a lot of room for physicality, timing, and tonal shifts. Cosmo in particular offers an actor a chance to balance humor with something a little more layered underneath. This feels like a play that would come alive in the hands of two performers willing to fully commit to the dynamic. I can imagine two actors having a great time shaping this for an audience.

So Charlie is definitely not afraid of the dark, right? That's not how Cosmo sees it. Cosmo who has been lurking under Charlie's bed since he was five and who has no intention of giving up his privileged position as Charlie prepares to move away. Cosmo's machinations are the center of this warm, witty, and engaging play.

It's not often that I saw that a short play about a monster is CHARMING and HEARTWARMING, but ENID COKINOS has created just that. Short play festivals will delight in producing such a wonderful piece.
