“There’s nothing more American than being a superhero.” Corona digs deep into what it means to be an American, a hero, and true to yourself while looking at topics like revolution, philosophy and wealth. I loved the part that listed all the reasons for the name Brandon - especially the detail of deer piss in the car.

Powerful with a lot of details to digest.

A lot is accomplished here in a short time. Definitely left me thinking and a little spooked.

Well done! Father Williams delivers some great lines and Agatha seems like a fun part to play/watch.

An excellent parody that stands firmly on its own. I love how it is structured as separate monologues, each character in their own light/space, while it is deeply rooted in connection to place, the hero, and each other. And then to end it by turning the lights off one by one, until we are left with one - THE one - “the poster child of the new era” - excellent.

“I’m sorry it would have made for a better story if I had gone the other way but I didn’t,” is such a great line! And I’m glad the character went the way he did. This script held my curiosity throughout. How each character communicates would be a pleasure to watch. The final scene sounds like it would be an awesome sight to see fully realized.

“You can dream better dreams than just being able to sleep wherever you want.” And boy, did Prillaman dream up one hell of a script! A play about eating that will leave you full and satisfied even with a bit of an ambiguous (and perfect) ending. I can tell Arlo and Val love each other (they had me at Bake Off accents) and the Server serves every time.

This is a very exciting script and I would love to see it in production! Each scene has it’s own thing going for it and it gets progressively weirder in a wonderful way. Act 6 is unbelievably devastating and well written. Some lines and moments I really dug include: “GERALD Grit? Really? MORGAN It sounds Middle America.,” “GOD #1 You’re going to kill them to create a Hallmark movie.” and the movement in the scene with the rope.

"I wish I had another sucker to give you… lime is a very comforting flavor." The tension between these two characters is thick. Grabbed and held tight my attention throughout. The reveal of what's in his bag left me thinking about the meaning behind this wonderful line, "You have to be real good to do something real bad."

Rhapsodic and aching - there are so many lines and moments in this play that I love. Putting paintings on the floor just to say you have them, playing hide-&-seek without lives, owing money to coworkers who just died... Svich beautifully sums up in the line "Abt ordinary life but how it gets struck by the strangest kinds of things."
