    Wooow this short is tense and surprising and unfortunately feels all too relevant for today. I love the pacing, how we slowly figure out the situation from the dialogue, and I especially love the ending.

    JOSH GAUTHIER’s play, “Dead Men’s Words”, is an eyes wide open look at the reality of today’s political environment. Perhaps, we may think this doesn’t happen. Maybe it seems like a made up fantasy. Unfortunately, our future will be a totalitarian state if we look the other way. Bravo to Josh for writing such a powerful play. I strongly recommend it be seen by many.

    WOW! I kept wondering, "where is this going?" Then the realization. Seems rather appropriate in today's world. Josh, you made my morning reading this. A brilliant work.

    02.19.26 - That was devastating! I loved this play by Josh Gauthier and I want audiences to see this. It's haunting and timely and I can't say enough good things about it. The dialogue just moves along at the perfect pace and becomes more interesting as it goes. This is the type of art that tells me why totalitarians will never win in the long run. Darkly beautiful.

    I love Josh Gauthier's short play of calm, even civilized defiance set during a totalitarian regime. The characters are extreme opposites of one another, yes, but they're in the midst with extreme circumstances set during an extreme age. "Dead Men's Words" is a bit of a game of cat-and-mouse, and there may be underlying fear and regret, but power here lies with the clear-headed mouse, who may lose but knows for damn sure the cat isn't going to win.
