The ending of this play made me reread it. It puts everything in a new light. An awesome little piece for a darker edged play festival.

A particularly spooky play with a surprising twist. Not wanting to give anything away, but the play works all the angles, bringing up some excellent ghost stories to set the mood, yet staying within an emotional journey that we follow to a satisfying conclusion. This play would work for a Halloween/October program, or for any time of the year, really.

A play that explores memories of assault and the conflicting way people express those memories. Nothing is quite as it seems, and that proves to be a deliberate choice. The deft handling of the emotions is particularly insightful.

A play that reminds us that the past often informs the present. The ghosts of Kate's youth dog her to this day, but she is determined to somehow reconcile it. A fine little piece that reminds us of what is important in regards to relationships and memories.

A very imaginative play that shows the bonds of love and the complications that both circumstances and nature can throw at it. The playwright deftly avoids any easy answers, and follows the characters to a satisfying conclusion. An evocative setting and non-conventional characters make this an intriguing piece.

Innovative in its structure, and moving in its message, Two Girls strikes into the heart of a tough subject, and never lets up. It's both brutal in its imagery, and yet sensitive in its overall theme. A masterful work.

A touching and sensitive play that hits on our concerns about the pandemic and the toll it takes, while at the same time inspiring hope. A play that shows what theatre can really do.

Balancing horror and humor is a tough task, and yet playwright Danley manages both. The innovative shifting set, creative use of lighting and theatrical devices, and the ratcheting tension of the terror are all lessons one can learn from this play. A fantastic and entertaining piece!

A spooky little play that makes really good use of the Zoom format. Using the tools of the software, the playwright paints a great little picture that is actually scary. A huge feat!

A guard seemingly with all the power pitted against an elderly poet sets up a memorable clash. What I particularly liked is that the poet still loves her country, even when she doesn't like the way it is run. She is not shy about expressing it, even in the face of what could happen. A great short piece.
