Never Again - 1 Minute Play

    Like all great one-minute plays, this feels like the denouement of a longer play being brought to a satisfying yet horrific conclusion. The topic of spousal abuse comes with its own troubling shorthand. Kaminski uses that to get us on board immediately and to remind us of what the real horror is.

    Tension, stakes, intrigue, and a satisfying finish in (not even) two pages. Incredibly impressive!
