A really spooky play that keeps you guessing where it is heading. The Shakespeare touches are great, and this would be a fine piece for any horror or thriller festival.

A really innovative use of puppetry, multiple locations and double casting to convey a really cool story. This play fires on all cylinders.

A great little thriller that doesn't skimp on the emotion or the atmosphere. The setting gives the impression of isolation, while the characters hold your attention.

I really liked this. Not only does it pay homage and provide gentle parody to the original, it evokes memories, both good and bad, in such a short time. Plus, I think I had that same toy car when I was a kid!

A surprisingly complex play that really hits with emotion. You feel for all three characters, and the play is fair to who they truly are. No easy answers with this one. I'd love to see this staged to get the full effect.

Highly entertaining, with a good message about what love is and where we often find it. I particularly like the use of time, going forwards and backwards, to put everything in perspective.

What I like about this play is there is no easy, feel good ending. It puts it on the audience to take away the importance of the theme. A nice little piece to remind us of the consequences of the real world.

This play is so well written. The flow and intricacies of the dialog matched with the power of the theme make this an unforgettable experience. Playwright Femia makes each character distinct, and keeps you guessing what will happen until the end. I particularly like the clever use of the setting, both the physical place and the idea of a staff retreat, both used to full effect. Great job!

A sharp play that keeps you guessing where it is going until it lands its knockout blow. The use of crossword is clever and metaphoric, and the play makes its point without overburdening the story.

A stunningly rich piece that explores the complex situations revolving around class, race, and the haves and have-nots. The characters are brought into a world they long for, but the prices they all pay are high. Adept use of flashbacks, mindscapes, and straightforward scenes make this highly theatrical.
