Who knew ennui could be so entertaining? Seymour adroitly demolishes the stock characters and hoary conventions of the good old-fashioned living room play.

Oh my god. Oh my god! OH MY GOD! What an exhilarating and profoundly tasteless comic tour de force. It's hard to type this recommendation because I'm still shaking with laughter. To offer any kind of description would take away the joy of discovery and this work is a joy to discover.

Devastating. Riveting from the smallest finely-observed details to the chilling larger point. This powerful monologue illuminates the devastation wrought by the Dobbs decision and the human cost that has ensued and will ensue.

These are four vividly drawn, deeply flawed, and ultimately compelling men engaged in the difficult rituals of preserving a long-term friendship. Their banter, their casual misogyny, their faltering attempts at real connection are all affected by the persistent undertow of a suicide. They are only able to reaffirm their bond by coming to accept themselves and each other. This is an extremely well-crafted and thought-provoking piece.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship or a total train wreck. These two people find themselves working the Customer Service desk as the result of difficult life circumstances. Both are credible and to a degree sympathetic. And yet their connection doesn't feel quite right. This is a richly textured and nuanced piece.

This play is so disturbing because it feels so true to life. Luke is clueless and narcissistic and capable of great unintended harm. Chloe is manipulative but too young to be involved with Luke. The power dynamic between them veers wildly, but ultimately leads to a disheartening equilibrium. But in the journey there every beat rings true.

A chilling and utterly compelling portrait of the lies and self-loathing undergirding most toxic masculinity. These two young men are clearly drawn and the shifting dynamic between them is riveting. The final moments are harrowing and depressing and ring regrettably true. This is a powerful and important work.

A darkly comic gem. In the best noir tradition, betrayal piles on betrayal until the cynical, yet satisfying payoff. The real life lesson is don't mess with Morgan.

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.
