“ relationships are hard that's a given and in that given is a very core truth about the magnitude of what a good relationship is, be it two people who are just right for each other and those who find out down that hard road of existence that they are not. Cathro gives us a gut-wrenching journey of one such relationship that has you laughing at first and then that sucker punch at the end where you know Ronnie and Arron's happy has turned into unhappiness and a different ending is just around the corner for both. ”

“ The title caught my eye immediately as I saw it come through the NPX homepage. We have all been anxious for the holidays to come each year and yet, there is that golden timeline that we all seem to follow to keep the holiday order of things. Plumridge's play is funny and so entertaining and would be a great addition at any festival of shorts celebrating the reason for the season. ”

“ The play is breezy and fun just like a noir-themed play should be and you can't help get caught up all the song lyrics as they spill out of the characters mouths like a ballet of bullets. Underneath is a tight and funny script that delivers the jokes and puns fast and loose and brings to mind any classic of the genre much like Young Frankenstein brought to life all the monster movies it was based on. ”

“ We all want to feel that we are leaving some sort of mark in the world, be it small or large and in Last Laugh we have one comic wishing to pass something along to his daughter who also is an upcoming comic and a daughter he never knew as such since he left her mother when he found out she was with child. Norkin touches upon the frailty of life and that desire to achieve at something in the life we are given, be it big or small, funny or not, before the spotlight is turned off. ”
