  • Duncan Pflaster: Vacancies by Scott Sickles
    “

    A fun spooky little play that gets at the heart of the disconnectedness in a marriage with humor and heart.

    There is a feeling of real discomfort in this play... people on the edge, their local area on the edge, a relationship on the edge. With the appearance of an unusual acquaintance, Carol and Graham's downward spiralling relationship faces new challenges. Scott Sickles creates an incredibly inventive piece of drama out of a very simple premise, but one which draws you in so temptingly. Wry, smart and clever - a one-act play packed with atmosphere and cracking dialogue.

    Amidst a crisis, a strained marriage meets the devil who is a friend and also a devil. A fascinating story of temptation.

    A VERY irresistible concept - what if the Devil were staying near you in a motel in the middle of a FEMA crisis and turned out to be a pretty decent guy, but still the Devil? - in VERY capable hands. Sickles' one-act is full of heartache and loneliness and hope, and it positively crackles with ambiance.
    Any play by Sickles is bound to be a good bet, but VACANCIES is so good that you'll find yourself asking, "Why hasn't this been done before?" A fresh, lively new twist on all those classic tales of temptation. You should say yes.
