I was reminded of the fact that I always thought the expression "That's All She Wrote" was really "That's all sherote" or something to that effect until I saw what it was meant to be on " Murder, She Wrote." This play made me feel so happy even though it's not about a happy subject, but Zaffarano taps into that place in all of us where we all just want to be around the people we love and to learn from them whenever we can. France is Bacon made me smile about those special parent child moments that we share.

Powerful 1 minute play about grief that is almost mystical in feeling and as if you are awakening from your own dream to realize the truth of a loved one's passing.

This play drew me in from the very start and does what a play can do where you think one thing, but then it's not right and that is one things about literature that is always so fun to experience. Drugs are tearing this world up on pill a time and nothing can relieve the pain a parent feels when their child is caught up such a lifestyle, but Martineau gives us the beautiful ode to grief, to love and to the everlasting bond that a parent will always have with their children. Beautiful!

Shameful because it is so very true what many schools all over the country do this without anyone taking issue. It is changing and I know several professors who are pushing the boundaries and showing all types of art and literature from all races, sexualities, and genders at their colleges. The world is slowly changing and sadly we still have to push every day for change, and with this monologue, Wyndham offers up a battle on the drama side of things.

I love that Mar wants to get out of town and she has a definite plan. We all have had similar plans we have made to move on from something or some one and sometimes we do get away, and so many times we find ourselves back in identical situations and people and towns that offer up the same heartaches, puzzlement and friendships which are friends one day, and not another. Repeating the same things over and over and never really growing from them.

saw this delightful play as part of the GI60 festival in the UK. So much fun to see it live!

Farces are so much fun. Farces with sock monkeys even more so. Arnold offers a cute take on what it really takes to get a hit on the stage in this day and age and I can see it all now, especially my socky mug souvenir from the next greatest show on the Great Way Way.

Not an easy play to read, but one that is so well done and executed. I love Cathro's writing, the setting and the turn of events that will shock whoever sees or reads this one. Bravo!

Such a gut-wrenching and very personal monologue whose scope reaches beyond the individual talking and inward to the reader. These words are passionate and so very truthful about loss and grief and healing which is all so very personal and sometimes a devastating road to travel, but which is should be a collective one when it comes to national tragedies.

I enjoy Priskorn's work so much and this is no different. I was drawn to the title and I was thinking in my head it was going to comedic gem and it is that indeed, but very dark and that only adds to the pleasure of the read and of seeing it in person. The thing about those who love god so much, they've forgotten so many of the basics of just being able to love without worrying whether the soul is going somewhere after death. For me, my bet is on Amy in this love tug of war!
