A play that is totally clever and totally charming! From the start, you're pulling for Adam--even if it was his roommate "Luce" that got him into the situation--and pulling for Eve, too. A lovely rom-com that would be a delight in any short play fest.

Such a funny, heartfelt, deeply satisfying and refreshingly romantic play. What is it to long for love? And is it greater to understand longing--and to be able to capture that longing in writing--than to have that longing fulfilled? Does the act of creating for others move us more than a love that locks our gaze into the eyes of just one other person would do? So many rich unanswerables -- but maybe some playwrights need everything spelled out for them in big, bold, clear letters :) Would love to see this stage!

This is a brilliantly conceived and thoroughly engaging romantic comedy with great roles for both performers. Both are sharp and witty, and both have surprises for us and for each other--and the movement toward a connection between them is clear and fulfilling. Wonderfully effective!

Loftus' Eddie & Edna is a compelling, breath-catches-in-your-throat dive into the way the past and even the present become slippery--especially with the compounding of age and grief. A devastating and heart-breaking gem of a play.

This is a beautiful and utterly heart-breaking short play, reminding us that we are at (or, if you're an optimist, rapidly approaching) a point of no return. Soon, all that's growing and vibrant and green may be little more than a memory. The two characters, damaged by us, watched by us, are a modern Vladimir and Estragon--made more searing because of the awareness that we are responsible for their (and our) fate.

Three Ladybugs is a lovely short play, filled with loss, hard choices, surprises and more than a little wonder. The parallel questions--in the ladybugs and the unseen humans--give it the quality of a parable, looking at the small but opening up larger issues. This would be a real treat for actors and director.

This play manages to be delightful, funny, and cautionary all at the same time. It's a rom-com that makes the case that differences don't have to divide us, and a warning about the changes we're causing in the natural world. An outstanding short piece that entertains and stays with you.

This is a remarkably fine-tuned play. Malakhow's characters, Raymond and Sasha, are clear and compelling, with inner struggles that become too large to keep inside, on a roller-coaster ride through a semester at boarding school where they are treated as "outsiders" by race, economic background, and sexual orientation. This play FLIES, with crisp dialogue, but also with a highly theatrical sense of the world around Sasha and Raymond, conveyed through projections, and inner worlds conveyed by projected texts, solo moments, and music. Once again, a Nick Malakhow play I can't wait to see on stage

A very funny, farcical look at what playwrights have had to deal with in rehearsal since at least 1600. Great roles and great running gags throughout!

I had the pleasure to sit with an audience in this "flip the script" play about bodily autonomy. The play masterfully moves the audience from early laughs to nodding of heads and strong verbal affirmations of the message. A powerful and clear piece.
