    I really like the use of the chorus in this short play. Definitely read if you're looking for a good part for a strong young male actor.

    This is a fun play. Very achievable, lots of parts since they can all be played by any gender. Nice message without feeling preachy. Good logical and catchy dialogue. Scenery and costumes can be as complex or simple as you want. I think everyone would like this play (except maybe goat eaters).

    Excellent story addressing codependency, attachment and love in a funny and fanciful way.

    What a wonderful concept! Significant subject matter that needs a lot more stage time. Good fun dialogue. Good Characters. I'd love to see this play produced. I think Jones has created a world where so much could be discussed and explored. Funny, this is my second review of this writer and again, I want more! It makes a good short piece but could easily be a longer play too.

    Wonderful dialogue, easy to fall in love with Forrest. I really wanted this play to be longer, I wanted to spend even more time with the characters. It's a feel good holiday play that doesn't feel sappy. Read this play for a nice introduction to a talented writer.

    Plays don't usually make me tear up but this one did. Lovely characters, funny because it is such a realistic depiction of a husband and wife. I liked it so much I recommended it to my community theatre group and they are doing a Zoom production of it. Highly recommend this. Great age range for community theatre. Just the right length.

    Brilliant play. I held a small free workshop on writing 10 min plays in prep for a 10 min festival we're planning in our small community. We read a few NPX plays I thought were excellent (Of course, I kept all copies of the plays. I gave each reader the names and titles of each play we read and how to find it on NPX). TOILET PAPER was a real stand out with the two men and the three women attending. The readers clearly loved reading it and I think it inspired us all. Produce it!

    I really enjoyed this story. Great play for any audience but it also a good fit, I think, for a conservative, military audience - which can't be any easy type of play to find. It is touching and sweet, Nicely balanced. Well written and would be fun to act.
