←Recommendations of The Drip

I had the pleasure of performing in a reading of The Drip as part of LineStorm Playwights' Small Bites. It's relatable and weird and accessibly absurd. It's like if Edgar Allan Poe wrote a hilarious episode of The Twilight Zone. I've read a lot of short plays, this one definitely goes down as a highlight!

We jump right in and can tell immediately where the disconnect is for these two, though we don't know where it will lead. As we are taken down an eery path, it becomes clear. Subtle and spooky!!

A fun, Twilight Zone-esque short of something undermining a marriage. And despite the characters' musings and attempts to figure it out, whether it's based in personality and communication or something far weirder is left up to us. A great little play that provokes and perturbs, leaving us wanting just the right amount of more.

Simple premise. Well executed. Evocative imagery that keeps the brain working as the language flows. Nice blend of comedy and horror. Would love to see it in a small play festival. Just the type of stuff I enjoy.

Surrealistic. Absurdist. Comic horror. When something like this is written and works so well, it's simply unforgettable. Lolly Ward has crafted an offbeat jewel with "The Drip". And I can only hope that it will soon reach a nearby stage.

"Did you hear that?" This short comedy is incredibly smart and incredibly funny! Anyone in a committed relationship will relate to the back-and-forth of a couple trying to find peace while going in two different directions.

A taut, surreal two-hander that's equal parts funny and frightening. A very clever premise, very cleverly executed. Brava, Lolly Ward!
