←Recommendations of ARE YOU STILL WATCHING?: 1-Minute Play

Cole perfectly captures the lived-in feel of a couple who have been together a long time, but who have still managed to keep the spark alive. We're treated to a warm and light-hearted moment of true love in action.

A deft and romantic take on the all-too-familiar query/admonition we so frequently face. It is an admirable thing to so cleverly craft an effective narrative in so short a page-count. Lovely work.

The title of the play comes from the passive-aggressively judgmental question that our streaming services have the nerve to ask. DEBRA A. COLE spins this query into a delightful slice-of-life comedy that captures the sublime joy of a longtime relationship. Bravo, playwright!

"Are You Still Watching?" is a delightful and touching miniature comedy that captures the comfort, humor, and enduring affection of a long marriage with warmth and grace. In just a minute, Debra A. Cole transforms a familiar streaming-service prompt into a sweet reminder that being truly seen by someone never goes out of style.

We were all asked this question during lockdown! Those of us who were by ourselves never had this particular discussion so it's like Cole has given us a little present by making us privy to it. There's something reassuring about a couple that's been together a long time who still share a great fondness even during passively focused repose. This one will bring a great big smile to your face.
