A highly imaginative look at the return of alcohol to humanity after 3000 years. Needless to say when a roomful of amateurs get their hands on the reconstituted liquid chaos (and hilarity) ensues. Amidst all the humor, this play offers a thought-provoking exploration of the unintended consequences of scientific advances.

A fascinating premise, well realized. Read it to see why Heaven's stodginess is so frustrating. This play also has scads of great roles for actors.

With brilliant economy, this play charts a tentative romantic encounter with great feeling and wit.

Chillingly funny and riddled with weird truths, this play gets at the real ways people think about and react to competition and illness and identity. It is very funny and very chilling. It would be wonderful to see it staged.

There is so much hard-earned truth at the heart of this moving study of addiction and loss and the need for independence. The four characters who comprise the cast are complex and vividly drawn, but full and compelling portraits are also drawn of many of the people in their lives. There is a rich sense of the entire community that deepens the narrative. The central relationship between Mark and Pam is depicted with humor and depth, authentically charting the vagaries of mutual attraction at just the wrong time. There is so much to celebrate about this accomplished piece.

This is an intense rendering of the immediate, confused and harrowing reaction to a mass shooting. The play is gripping and depressingly familiar.

What a funny, moving, and surprisingly original piece of work. The stiff arbitrariness of robotic diction and the meta construct that this is Creative Dave's play Illuminate the family dynamic in ways a conventional narrative never could.

Favorite line: Gotta keep the brain active at our age, Jerry. This play offers a witty, yet heartfelt exploration of the pitfalls of an overactive brain and the sustaining quality of old friendships. And a final word to the wise, stay out of parking spaces you haven't shoveled.

The horror creeps up on you in this wittily unnerving short. It starts out a simple domestic sitcom and darkens humorously until the disturbing final beat. This is one minute with a hell of an impact!
