This play really shows how to leave things unsaid until absolutely necessary. The playwright brings his characters to life with a touching play about two people who loved someone very much in very different ways, and still finding common ground. Though ostensibly about a death, the play becomes life affirming.

The horror and devastation of the pandemic are quietly told in this remarkable little play. The characters feel real and alive, even when they discuss a deadly subject.

A hysterical comedy that anyone can enjoy. The tropes of the spy genre are played up and then turned on their head. To say anymore would spoil the fun. Great job!

A very funny and twisted piece about a curse, and the struggles of the characters to rid themselves of it. Suspenseful as well as hilarious, this is a real audience pleaser.

A very funny and timely play about the political "games" and behind the scenes machinations. Anyone wondering why the system is so broken will find this play right up their alley. Great characters and dialog bring the whole thing home. Great job!

A great little character piece of a woman who escapes into fantasy, and yet even there she cannot get away from being confronted about her condition. A fine monologue.

The pandemic has destroyed livelihoods and created new opportunities. Playwright Maisel explores both in a quirky play that shows two women trying to cope and look for a way through the lockdowns. The expertly woven story really keeps you in suspense, and the characters are a delight.

A very taught and well-written thriller, yet with a humanity that pervades the entire piece. Grief can often push people their limits, and Adagio proves this in a very brief time. A great short play that any festival would be proud to stage.

This play is stunning in its breadth and depth. The playwright moves effortlessly from scene to scene, creating characters who feel as real as anyone you've met. You run through just about every emotion as the play rolls along. A must read!

A very funny, short-but-sweet little play that shows that we all share something with one another.
