←Recommendations of There's an Order to These Things (Beauregard and Zeke #1)

A fast-moving play that leaves you breathless with anticipation and the a longing for a little more of Zeke and Beauregard. Glad that this is only the first.

Fast paced, funny, straight to the heart. I love these characters Scott Sickles has created.

Laugh out loud fabulous! Oh, the way it ends! I will not give it away, but this is so much fun, and would be so much fun to play! If only I were a teenage boy! If always! This should be done a lot. I hope this will be done a lot. Heartbreaking and true and real and awkward and all the things.

The breezy dialogue in this opening salve of this promised and promising series belies the intensity of feeling on the part of these two young men, and that is what makes it so real and captivating. We go along on this journey, this moment, and for me, it is a vivid reminder of being that age all too well.

Scott Sickles doesn't waste any time getting to the point, and neither does Zeke for that matter. There's an Order to These Things, the 1st in a series, is a well-crafted introduction to two teens who are figuring their world out. Sickles' dialogue drops us right back to high school, a place most of us wouldn't want to return to, yet with this wonderful series of short plays, there's no looking away.

"There's an Order to These Things" may be the most immaculately titled short play ever.

This is the first in Scott Sickles' Beauregard and Zeke series, and there is a lot of work done -- establishing character baselines so audiences can better determine how much they change (or not), establishing conflict to determine how much more conflict there may be.

Scott Sickles does a lot of work creating the world, the characters in the Beauregard and Zeke series. His skill at dialogue, action, character, and conflict rises to the challenge.
