  • Samantha Marchant: SQUiD PLAY PLAY by Philip Santos Schaffer
    “

    I greatly appreciate the beginning of this script and how it cares for and guides the audience/actors. I like how the script uses lessons about squids to encourage self-reflection. This script is a gift to whoever gets to participate in a performance.

    A fascinating character study. I feel like I really got to know Billy (and his mom and Jimmy) during these 20-some pages. A snippet of a moment in an American life and in time.

    I admire the use of a “dream” space to tackle and prepare for a very real situation and unfortunate battle to be believed.

    This script evokes a great sense of being trapped in space. I liked the reveal of the double meaning of the title.

    “I mean everything I say. No subtext.” What a wonderful line from a script filled with wonderful words. Reading it, I was completely swept up in the tone and cadence. The scenes in the waiting room… so good!

    Fascinating world building! Harvesting love and not being able to keep it is heart breaking. I enjoyed a lot of the word choices like “soap bubble day.” I would love to see how this all moves on stage.

    An examination of and a call-to-action in and of itself. This script uses song, immersion, technology and ritual to examine important topics like gun control and race. Powerful on the page and I believe it would be even more so live. The moments of connection are beautiful.
