←Recommendations of Who's Afraid of Bram Stoker?

Tad has so much on his mind except paying for rent! Lol. A dude comedy for the Halloween season with a existential stoner vibe that is a lot of fun.

This play is as witty and engaging as its title. So many topics are covered in its brisk, often hysterically funny dialogue. I found it a dazzling, dizzy delight!

I love this fun, short, Halloween-themed exploration of the relationship between a character and their God, er... author.

Sam Heyman has given us SO MUCH to unpack in this Halloween comedy: the true meaning of the holiday, in-depth analysis of "Dracula," revealing our true (sexy) selves, just how long you can avoid rent without getting evicted ...
I could go on. But you get the idea. "Who's Afraid of Bram Stoker" fits right into my wheelhouse of laugh-out-loud-funny-with-thought-provoking-ideas, and audiences will love it.

I loved this. Some terrific dialogue and pointed commentary about a great many things. A lot to pack into a ten minute, perhaps, but Heyman does a bang-up job of it. I'm left contemplating the concept of "sexy is the new scary," and it's wonderful when a play leaves me with points to ponder such as that. Beyond that, these two characters are an absolute hoot to spend some time with. An excellent ten minute!

A terrific short play that manages to be both subtle and pointed. The sharp dialogue helps bring the two relatable characters into focus as we're drawn into their world. In the end, we're reminded that candor and vulnerability can be much scarier than a costume.

As soon as Tad said "The horror of being known," I laughed out loud and knew I was in for a hilariously relatable play of thoughts and philosophies. Tad is brilliant, if not a little bit of a grifter at heart. This snappy dialogue is so much fun, I'd love to hear it performed!

When the childhood fear of monsters disappear, all that remains are disappointed adults staring in their mirrors. A new fear emerges: is this who I am? But what if we dress up as ourselves for Halloween? By dressing as our true selves for one night, perhaps we won't be as terrified to see the same face in the mirror, day-in, day-out. This may lead to a new beginning. Heyman has written a lovely meditation on aging, fear of death, and the true meaning of Halloween (and "fangering!").

09.17.25 - Sometimes the scariest thing of all is baring yourself for others to see. Not disrobing but allowing yourself to be known. Its tough putting yourself out there. This is the crux of the conversation two roommates have in Sam Heyman's Halloween comedy about love, sex and fangering (if nothing else, give this man props for the new word). It's funny, gentle, touching and above all, juuuuuust a bit scary (at least for Tad).

This is both hilarious and deeply profound: two twenty-somethings contemplating life, Halloween costumes, and the true meaning of existence, clearly with some enhanced chemical assistance. Sam Heyman's Bryan and Tad hark back -- at least to me -- to the deep conversations I had with friends amid the smoke and cold pizza crusts in dorms and on-campus apartments of my youth. We uncovered truths beyond measure soon forgotten, and this witty short captures it all, dude.
