  • Paul Donnelly: The Writing Bug

    This witty short explains so much. I am so much clearer about my life. And the kicker ending is hilarious.

  • Paul Donnelly: THE GROUP PROJECT (A Play for Videoconference)

    This play is such a treat, skewering our experiences with Covid and technology while utilizing technology to allow the play to happen. The kids are credible, distinct and funny. This would be a hoot in performance even now that we have begun to return to the world. It could allow kids from different locations to perform together and enable far flung family members to be engaged.

    What a delightful take on a romantic encounter. The characters and set-up are engaging and the pay off a true delight. There is a sweetness of spirit to the piece that enhances its many charms.

  • Paul Donnelly: And Be Gay

    It's nice to see a relationship as tender and mutually supportive as Randy and Rod's. This sparkling comedy builds to a deeply satisfying surprise ending.

  • Paul Donnelly: That Kiss

    Irresistible force Kelly meets immoveable object Monica in this wild two-hander. The dialogue zings and the stakes grow high. These roles would be a gift to actors and this play a real treat for audiences.

  • Paul Donnelly: Because I Could Not Stop for Death

    It seems that poor Death is the victim of a clerical error. Their attempts to get Emily's demise back on track and her resistance are the witty core of this clever comedy.

  • Paul Donnelly: THE SANITY CLAUSET 10-minute holiday comedy

    I'm a sucker for an original holiday play and The Sanity Clauset sure fits the bill. It has an engaging mix of out there humor and real feeling. And I will never again view Groupon in the same way.

  • Paul Donnelly: SEX, LIES & STYROFOAM - a ten minute comedy

    The lesson is if you want to be a successful cad, wash your own damn cape. Two women of vastly different life experience meet at a laundromat and find their lives changed by the meeting. That so much wit informs this piece (funny lines, funny props, funny situations) just gives the big reveal greater impact.

  • Paul Donnelly: FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama

    So much feeling and wisdom is packed into these ten rich pages. A family forms and endures through minor annoyances and major tragedy. The balance of humor and pathos is spot on. It is easy to see how this play has achieved such success and acclaim.

  • Paul Donnelly: DOUBLE TROUBLE, a 5-minute comedy

    An old soul faces the burden of being paired with a new soul in this delightfully original comedy. The juxtaposition of Jordan's mounting frustration with Des's cluelessness provides many, many laughs.
