Devilishly funny. (groan) The bargain of Faustian follicles emerges from wittily drawn characters and dialogue rife with sexual innuendo. I laughed, I groaned, I laughed some more. The scene in which Bill discovers the terrible power of the Mane is particularly hysterical. Good luck with Marie from H&R Block, Bill.

Well that was certainly a shocker of an ending. Powerful, but shocking. What came before was an exploration of the nature of religious conviction, the power of free will, and the horniness of young men. It's a heady mix, often comic, that leads to the unexpected and devastating conclusion. An unforgettable work.

The symbiotic relationship between conflict and resolution is explored both comedically and philosophically. The conflict between them escalates from juvenile pranks to matters of life and death. The resolution is startling and leaves us with much to ponder.

The Vampire Cesario turn the tables on so many tropes of the Vampire genre. It is filled with fun and funny twists. I won't spoil your enjoyment, dear reader, by enumerating them. Read it for yourself. You will thank me and salute Matthew Weaver.

Jackson's journey is deeply engrossing. The escalating tension as he explores his history, feels guilt and grief, and endures his mental health struggles held me in a tight grip for the full length of the play. Jackson is surrounded by other vividly drawn characters, each of whom cares for and about him, none of whom grasp his full struggle. The uplifting conclusion is heartening and feels deeply earned,

So much humor and so many tart observations about the Church and about contemporary mores fill this short play to the brim. There is so much that is laugh-out-loud funny, but the final proposal rockets this piece to a new level of howlingly funny.

This is a unique and moving exploration of how the different ways two siblings have of confronting their mother's imminent death come to intersect. The play also explores the nature of magic and the harm caused by charlatans peddling false hope. The two siblings are distinct and well-drawn as is the situation in which they find themselves. The play builds to a most poignant conclusion. Lovely work.

Where would superheroes be without the little people in the background? And what happens to those little people when they are thrust back out into the mundane, work-a-day world? Owen's frustration with his fate boils over in this riotously failed job interview. Great fun for us, if not so much for poor Owen.

What a twisted (in a good way) spoof of the typical coming out drama. Mickey's attempt to come out starts a cascade of responses and revelations that leads to a twist on the twist. Great fun!

The nothing that happens on this site in 1782 is a sight to behold. Daffy Fergus is a genius before his time. The contemporary scene preceding Fergus's grand adventure is warm and funny and full of deft twists. Together they suggest this site, as well as this play, is filled with magic.
