Truly unhinged. This hilarious, outrageous, and completely depraved play is probably the reason obscenity laws still exist in the United States. If you have any sense of decency, do not read this play. But if you are as sick and twisted as Diaz, you will find bliss in these pages.

Grief and joy intermingle as two strangers are bound to San Francisco, one for a celebration of life and the other, for a funeral. This chance encounter reveals layers of emotions and humor as these strangers get to the heart of what brought them to the airport. A joyously emotional play.

Murphy has a way of writing romantic comedy that shines with humanity, humor, and deep deep compassion. The sledding’s a metaphor for the relationship, or maybe the other way around. You won’t want to bail, though, the ride’s too wonderful.

Berryman’s characters pop off the page, their voices clear, their grisly, but just, work place percolating with humor. It’s the kind of play that you can see perfectly in your mind while you read. Justice, INC is ready for you when you’re in need.

In the tradition of Strindberg and Albee, Haddad puts a fractured and belligerent marriage at the forefront of this emotionally honest dark comedy. At turns funny and heart breaking, this play grips you and takes you along for a ride that bumps along at a fast clip until it crashes into a painful end.

This play is magic. I've read it twice and both times I've been fully incapable of holding back a torrent of tears. The humanity, complexity, and pure emotion in this play are stunning to witness. This play is about an awkward conversation in the last place you'd ever want to have it. Murphy packs more into these ten pages than many full-lengths I've read. Do yourself a favor and read this, or better yet, produce it, now.

A fun and funny look into the future and into the family life of a former Incel. This play takes you on a short journey that is, in turn, hopeful and hysterical and asks how much we let our past define our present and future.

Cathartic and deeply compassionate, this play talks about death by dropping you in it, surrounding you with it, and letting you feel the pain of these character’s loss. With evocative language, simple yet poetic, Rice takes you on a journey that you will definitely need a box of tissues for.

A hilarious reflection of the quarantined existence we all knew, brought down to earth by the issues faced by the human experience. Renaissance man is as satisfying as ripping a chunk off a freshly baked bread loaf.

Dark and absurd with lots to say, Rut hits hard from the first page to the last. Don't trust the 8-ball.
