Such a rollicking and fun-filled take on all things Hamlet, and on all things Shakespeare as well. The anachronisms and modern day twists/jokes abound, (the mix of verse with colloquial speech is seamless), but without losing sight of the main story or themes, some of which take on dramatic heft as the play progresses, especially in the area of male/female politics. Also, this is a sure fire bet for any schools that want to open up the Bard to future generations. I give it five out of five sausages!

This sweet funny and wistful two-hander is just what the doctor ordered re: our pandemic times. Rich in subtext with a lot to chew on for any actor, it also makes its points with concision and clarity. It had me at walkie-talkies.

A gentle and funny take on letting go of the past, sprinkled with echos of mythic magic. Very moving as well, and will leave you craving all things vanilla by the end. Kudos!

Both hilarious and darkly sad, this one person play about a hapless understudy named Malcolm is a tour de force for any actor. It reaches into the depths of despair at missed opportunities in life, or in this case a life in the theatre, but it hums along like a freight train in it's almost poetic listing of sleights and insults at the hands of the star known as Sir Giles, and we find ourselves rooting for Malcolm in his increasingly macabre quest to get his shot. Simply brilliant!

A wonderfully funny and entertaining play that stays unpredictable till the end. The twists of character are especially fun to track, and by the end you're cheering Ray on to a life beyond delivering pizzas.

A highly entertaining piece that tackles loneliness with humor, insight and fun absurdity. Such fun to read, I imagine it'd sparkle and shine seeing it performed live. A lot of mystery to explore too, with questions that never quite get answered, and which kept me hooked throughout. Cheers to change and/or the lack thereof.

By turns both funny and moving, Wyndham creates a compelling character who you root for, even care about, in a very short amount of time. I may be biased as I was once an underpaid adjunct professor myself, but this also hits close to home at how we as a society fail the ones we need the most to succeed. Visceral, brutal, and tender as well.

An air of mysterious danger permeates throughout, coupled with snappy dialogue (and V.O.) loaded with black humor that makes the unknown horror/s stand out even more. Very inventive, wide open for interpretation, and viscerally grips you till the end, literally. This play would be the life (or death as the case may be) of any party.

The only thing harder than writing comedy (in theatre) is horror. And Daniel Prillaman pulls it off grippingly well in this piece which starts with an immediate visceral tension and escalates from there. The frights are genuine, and the dark theme of wounds that may or may not ever heal is dealt with depth and a sure hand. To see this performed live would doubtlessly haunt even more.

A wonderful ride, this play, that has the same power and lift that the first ten minutes of the Pixar film "Up" has. It covers a life at breakneck speed, with humor and insight and theatrical inventiveness aplenty. Pure joy just reading it--I'm sure performed live it's at least twice as joyous.
