Whether you don't drink at all (like me) or have your advanced cicerone certification, this should make you giggle. Nelson knows the culture he's teasing, which makes it doubly satisfying.

Very funny, with some heart that sneaks up on you. Nelson takes some of our pandemic anxiety about relating to family through video meetings and spins it into an absurd premise that's still played for high stakes. I very much want to know what happens next, but the ending is fully earned."

Very funny, excellent pacing. Things just keep getting worse for the thieves, their panic is hilarious but their determination to keep going and their revisions to the plan are hilarious-er.

Very funny, alongside some real heart about the issues (large and small) facing the comfortably retired. Excellent comic roles for older actors. Many scenes stand on their own as short pieces, so acting teachers needing material for older students should consider adding this to their bookshelf. But there's extra delight in taking in the whole play: noticing the common threads, the offstage characters in scene A who appear in scene C, etc.

A clever juxtaposition of two very different schools with similar scandals for very different reasons. Adds a teaspoon of non-realism that elevates the entire story. You care about every single character. Tight as a drum. This should be produced all across the country.

This is the funniest play about a global financial collapse that I know of. (It's also one of the clearest/best explanations of the 2008 crash that I've come across)
Actually, scratch that: this is one of the funniest plays I know of, on ANY topic.
It's on my directing bucket list.

"Assembly" is the first time I reached out and asked for a playwright's name after reading an anonymous submission. And I never ended up getting an answer, and years later here I am searching the title on NPX. That's how much this little gem of a play stuck with me. Funny and charming and quirky. I'd love to see a production. Definitely going to read the NPX draft in case it's revised, and send it to a friend or two.

Incredibly smart, incredibly funny, and so insightful into a very specific moment of high school. So few playwrights know how to write teenage characters. Kathryn 100% does.

Hilarious. No good deed goes unpunished.

Three great roles for women (and two of those for older women, a rare thing), in an unsettling and darkly funny play.
