A smart piece of historical fiction that imagines Wilde and his quest for beauty even in solitary confinement. Leaves one to ponder the importance of art and beauty and what happens when there is no one besides the artist to experience it. Definitely would be a challenging piece for adventurous actors and directors.

Using fairy tale aesthetic, Langman crafts an absurdist play that deals with some really big existential themes. What makes people worthy of love? Is it wealth? Achievements? Really interesting questions asked in this enigma of a play.

This was a wonderfully unique and whimsical absurdist farce that engages all the senses. I know it’s listed as a radio drama but I’d really to see this fully produced onstage.

A delightfully funny and clever short play with two fast paced comedic roles.

A wonderfully crafted story that is very much about the purpose of storytelling. Seems like a play that could be a lot of fun for directors and designers. The use of verse is really well done and the characters are compelling.

A hysterical and touching farce with some really clever word play.

A unique dystopian play that treats childhood wonder as the most valuable commodity. It just throws you into this world and asks up to keep up. We have no clue where we are or why the things happening onstage are happening but the dialogue and characters are so strong that none of that matters.

Loved how big and ambitious this short play was. Perfectly utilizes elements of sci-fi and horror to look at what it means to be a human that sees worth in themself. So badly want to see this fully produced.

A journey inside a female author's psyche as she looks to those that came before her and mythical figures for inspiration. A really clever use of minimal and abstract scenery to tell this story.

This is a short play I'll be thinking about for awhile. I love the idea of indoctrination is explored in such a mechanical and repetitive way. It forces the audience to try and put the pieces together to a puzzle that folks have been trying to figure out for the longest time. The lack of information about these characters is what truly makes this so compelling. A gift of a play for actors, directors and designers.
