  • Mason Wright's Last Night in Town (a series of avoidable events, in two acts)
    26 Nov. 2023
    Complicated, intense, poignant, simple, affecting, harsh, insightful, and so not unlike poker... a tale of a twilight that wants to flame again like noon, when burning is maybe the real problem... something like a more conscious Midnight Cowboy, though also viscerally more optimistic in its ending... is it an ending? Mason Wright's Last Night in Town (a series of avoidable events, in two acts) is a crowning work of undeniable literary and dramatic genius from a dedicated, subtle, and assured storyteller: Josh Drimmer. Not to be missed.
  • Nothing Ever Happens Twice (three monologues with interruptions)
    12 Mar. 2023
    Brilliant, incisive, an intense and poetic meditation on relationships between lovers, between family members, and between our own memories and identities, "Nothing Ever Happens Twice (three monologues with interruptions)" by Josh Drimmer is an intense experiment in form enhancing function that pays off richly. Character voices this distinct are rare, as is a play willing to let its own characters paint themselves so darkly, into so many corners, and in so many shades of angst and longing. Even their self-effacing levity is dark. Some emotional wounds are so deep that they war with us for our souls. Hear them speak.
  • The Sh-ames (Shakespeare Games)
    10 Mar. 2019
    The combination of lightness and depth in The SH-ames along with Mr. Robinson’s dedication and ardor for it remind me of the genesis of Hair. I believe that The SH-ames is destined for great things. His extensive background of success in music and dance are folded into The SH-ames with great care and intensity. They are necessary elements. Really, they are as essential to The SH-ames as they are to all of Mr. Robinson’s work, a real part of his artistic DNA. Collaborating artists and audiences alike are in for a real treat.
  • A New Xmas Morning

    Lovely short comic Christmas play with a great zinger at the end. It's knowing and funny and at the same time refuses to be condescending. Suggested.
