A spectacular rule breaker that's equal parts play and antidepressant. A deceptively complex, pure and simple joy!

For every Bert who has lived with an Ernie and vice versa, this is a play about Guys! Guys far apart on the Spectrum of Guys. Not boys and not quite men, but Guys!

There's barely a kind word said between them - mostly bitching and bravado - that makes the whole thing feel all the more true to life. These two dudes should not be friends or roomies which is why I believe that they are.

Highly entertaining and a cinch to produce!

Even if you, like me, have never seen Einstein on the Beach and, like me, never ever ever never will, you will still enjoy this sendup of material celebrated for its opacity and audacity that mocks those who savor clarity and sense.

Mr Bray satirizes plays for the tragic imperfections of their epic pretentions with a spoof that is perfectly pretentious in every way.

Do yourself a favor and read it aloud, SINGING!

I THOUGHT ASHER WYNDHAM WAS MY FRIEND! BUT HE HAS PURLOINED MY DIARY -- MY DEEPEST MOST PROFOUND FEELINGS OF LOVE -- AND PRESENTED IT HERE AS HIS OWN, ONLY CHANGING THE NAMES OF *SOME* OF THE CHEESES!!!

Okay, not really but still!

Oh my, could I relate to this joyous monologue! It's a wonderful ride, not only for the cheese lover, but for those who do not love cheese for if they read this aloud -- not just read but truly PERFORM it -- even just to themselves, they will understand our great, holy love of Cheese.

This is the vampire western you didn't know you needed but so so do! It cleverly begins in familiarity territory, smack in the middle of the Dracula narrative, then takes us far afield... and it's a helluva ride!

The script alone has tremendous atmosphere. The stage directions actively encourage creative staging and experimentation.

It has a great Hammer Films quality to it and, best of all, it's deliciously creepy.

All in ten pages!!!

A Rapunzel custom made for our times, when knowledge is still power but "information" is something else altogether. An effective, concise, and very funny examination of how technology influences what we think we know, no matter who or how aware we are.

It's late. There's been a disruption. Now someone's sitting outside on a snowy night nursing a bloody nose when someone else comes out to join them without wearing a coat.

We have all been to this New Year's Eve party.

Impulse control over the holidays is challenging enough. For recovering addicts, it's an entirely different struggle. The only choices you get to make are how, or even if, you're going to fight decisions your body has already made.

One doesn't watch this play so much as evesdrop on it. You can't help these people but you care and you hope.

What the Penguins of Madegascar are to vaudeville, these penguins are to Jungian philosophy. They are as funny to the reader as they are deeply serious to themselves, which is saying a lot! Matthew Weaver's glorious play, about a penguin who encounters a polar bear in her dreams/a vision/an accidental astralprojection, gives us three distinct characters who speak as penguins would if they were deeply concerned about concepts of mortality and destiny. It's also a loving portrait of friendship and a shared love of seafood. Totally worth spending money on penguin costumes!

OH... MY... GOD!!! Painfully hilarious portrait of two long-married people trying to spice things up. Great characters and sublime humor in a broad situation, while also being meticulously observant about the way men and women view and value sex. A terrific piece for actors over 50!!!

Adorable! Simply adorable! A wonderful sendup of parent-child (and specifically father-daughter) negotiations, using tradition and ritual as unconventional weapons. Ever-so-sightly heightened in a way that makes it even funnier and thoroughly entertaining!
