←Recommendations of THE PEOPLE’S SHOE

Jenna's sense of loss runs so much deeper than a pair of Birkenstocks. It is amazing how much humor can be mined from heartbreak. This is a delightful and insightful comedy about coming to terms with loss.

The phrase-ology of this play is so quotable! I can picture myself saying "rotting with ambition" and "democracy slippers" in future. Jenna goes into a hilarious and relatable spiral and we are taken on a fun journey back to earth with her.

"The People’s Shoe" is a wonderfully funny and surprisingly heartfelt comedy that transforms the loss of a pair of Birkenstocks into an insightful exploration of heartbreak, denial, and the stories we tell ourselves to avoid painful truths. With sparkling dialogue and impeccable comic timing, Debra A. Cole delivers a touching reminder that sometimes the real mystery isn't what we've lost, but what we're finally ready to let go.

This is a delightful bit of emotional misdirection. Sparkling dialogue, a relatable pair of characters, and a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. Great stuff.

Another piece of lovely warmth from Deb Cole, as a funny situation has some surprising depth to it at the end. Fun piece for actors to play. This should fit in well to any festival that would have it!

What a fun play. I can just picture them sitting in a police station going over the report. The ending is delicious. Just like "I can't find my glasses." "On your head."
Wonderful characters.

What starts out as a story about a theft slowly and skillfully turns into a story about heartbreak. Cole deftly handles the character's realization that pain can lead to ridiculous assumptions which can lead us to release. A lovely and touching glimpse into a moment of healing. Well done!

This is one delicious short play. It's laugh-out-loud funny. It reminded me of so many people I knew during the 70's in New England. And I know just how Jenna feels. I had several comfortable pairs of Birkenstocks!
