  • Susan Middaugh: HAMLET'S REVENGE by Martha Patterson
    “

    A fun twist on Shakespeare's tragedy. In this play, Hamlet starts out as a pacifist who likes ham sandwiches and plays on words. And like the original Hamlet, he can't make up his mind until the end when he takes up his father's sword.

  • Susan Middaugh: AFTER THE DISSOLUTION by Martha Patterson
    “

    This short play embraces two ideas: the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the unraveling of a marriage; the latter is brought about by an American game called "Truth or Consequences." Spare set and dialogue, well done. A welcome change to have a play about some place other than America.

  • Susan Middaugh: CHATTING WITH THE TEA PARTY by Rich Orloff
    “

    Very well written, balanced, with humor, Rich raises questions for liberals as well as Tea Party members, he comes away most of the time with respect for the Tea Party members who get off the sofa.

  • Susan Middaugh: THE DRAFT by Peter Snoad
    “

    Outstanding play that offers personal stories about the Vietnam War from many points of view: men and women who served, those who resisted, conscientious objectors, parents. Peter weaves these stories together in a very compelling and dramatic way.
