It's the kind of play that can change your life as an actor. It's tender, hilarious, and heartbreaking. It's eminently producible. I can't recommend it highly enough. I love this play and your audiences will too.

A lovely, deeply personal experience. I say experience, because it would be impossible to separate the words on the page from the smells and sounds made while the story is constructed in front of you. While reading, I could smell the bread baking. What a delight.

Horror is so hard to pull off, but TALL TALES is legitimately scary - The Elder offering many opportunities for a movement based monster that reaches out to the make the audience's lizard brain scream, "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG HERE." The mood of the piece grabs you by the throat. The characters are interesting and varied, the setting oppressive. Really worth your time. Give it a read.

A show about friendship and youth and the infinite possibility of who you can become when you get older. These kids live in a world where they must navigate prank phone calls to bullies, their parent's depression, and magic spells from self-help books with the same care, which is one of the great things about youth. The stakes are high, but that's just life. It reminds you of the tender heart you used to carry with you and the friends who have stuck by your side throughout it all.

This play is a direct window into grief. It drips off the page. But not just the bitterness of grief. Also the recovery and rebirth. It's a lovely testament to those we've all lost.
