While the musical might bring Hamilton's entire life to the stage, Tambasco here focuses on one singular moment, the duel itself, to great effect. This piece in particular builds upon the bystanders and friends of the duelists, bringing an emotional beat to the piece, before delving into the heady conflict, allowing the audience to invest itself. This approach really pays off, and the verse structure gives it a musicality of its own. A great piece for a themed festival, or a change of pace in a more open format.

This play really hooked me. I particularly liked that the suspense was seeing the situation unfold, and hoping that the characters would realize it. This work really shows how smart people are often fooled by their own ambition. Especially found it heartbreaking and harrowing when they are made to recruit others into the fold. Really great work.

This play really hooked me. I loved the interplay between the two that have shared history, and trying to piece together what is the truth and what might be false memory was particularly striking. But more than just a "He said/she said," the piece hits real emotional depths that leave no easy answers.

I'm a big fan of Robert Chambers' story collection "The King in Yellow," and it's clear playwright Soucy is as well. References to the original stories abound, all the while suspense and terror creep into every line. The general vibe of late 19th century weird fiction comes across full force, while still making it relevant to modern audiences, especially when Soucy takes the mythos to new directions. A real horror play for theatres brave enough to stage it!

A gem of a play that shows there are more things happening than you may realize. On the surface, a young man desperately wants to be part of something that he has no qualification or hope of achieving. That in itself would be enough for most, but playwright Vince Gatton then shows the deeper layers. A quiet but powerful piece.

A fantastic conceit, that escalates in a realistic matter (even with the fantastical elements.) This will have you believing everything that happens. Such vivid descriptions from Daniel, giving a full account, as well as his deteriorating state of mind. Such a great piece for a horror fest or anything that allows adventurous works.

Very interesting approach and concept. Thought that the characters were unique and dynamic. Interested to see more of this type of work from this playwright.

I really liked this play. It talks of privilege, the detestable treatment of women, and controversial neurological procedures that do nothing but harm. I liked the interaction of the characters all driving towards a goal of The American Dream family, with none of them coming close to achieving this, and destroying their souls in the process.

An absolute gem of a play that puts its characters through a harrowing situation, and the audience along with them. You get the feeling of the ship at sea, the desperation, the camaraderie, and the wonder of their plight. I particularly like how at the core, it's about two women who dare to achieve above what society dictates, and how they bond together despite the odds.

A fun romp of a play that also touches on some deeper issues at times. The main character, Godspeed, is determined, capable, and yet flawed in ways to make you believe she exists. The colorful cast gives this play real bite. I feel we need more genre plays in theatre, and this is a good one.
