A well executed cat and mouse game where the tables definitely shift several times. Two plausible characters in a challenging conversation -- what's better than that? I think audiences would really enjoy both seeing this play and discussing it afterward.

Delicious, delightful, a hilarious, easy-breezy two-hander that serves up tons of laughs buried inside the weirdest meet-strange (it ain't a meet-cute, that's for sure) I think I've ever read. And for the record: I never trusted Chester(field). Hooray for Feriend and the hot tub.

Wow. This is a deep, resonant play that takes on the Right Now of it all. It's about family and memory and history and individuality and options and rights and responsibility ... and it's powerful. I was profoundly moved by the end.

This play is terrific, gripping from start to finish, with five strong characters sharing a confined space. The worldbuilding is top notch and aptly scary, all too relevant. Excellent work.

I just love it -- such a fun piece, sharply comic, an ideal play for inclusion in any series of shorts. Bring on the torrential confessions and waitress!!

Just the coolest short play. I was so into Harmony and Leah getting to know each other -- and in Leah's case getting to know her (new) self. Not a false word or beat, just a dark, funny, compelling ride.

Well my goodness. What a remarkable play this is, filled with mysteries and the unknowable both within and outside of us. Getting to know Tasha, Mary Jo, Rex, and Daniel is a deep pleasure, and so is the wide-ranging journey they take, about which I will say nothing lest an inadvertent spoiler slip out. Suffice it to say Chagutok is a beautiful piece of theater that I'd love to see in three dimensions.

A perfect example of the specific being universal, the tale of Mitsuko has a depth of feeling, need, and danger that crosses boundaries of time and place. I admire the clarity of each character's want, and the deft way Sickles folds them together. Beautiful and painful and simply terrific.

Man, is this piece fantastic. Two great characters, equally relatable and totally disparate, in a well-conceived setting speaking their hearts and minds and (in one case) sleeplessness -- and then a sneaky depth of feeling that makes it all come together beautifully. A master class. Love it.

A stunner. This play utilizes a wide range of styles and approaches that nonetheless always feel correct, apt, ideal. I'd love to see it in three dimensions. A significant piece.
