I love this smart, witty, and kinda taboo play about competitive parenting even in the worst of cases. Grant is so good at telling a twisted tale with humor and lightness that makes you laugh so hard and then afterwards think so hard.

I saw this play years ago and I still think about it! A great part for a female lead who can totally command the stage and captivate an audience for every breathing second. There is pain and hurt and yet it's VERY funny.

This play brings two unlikely characters together in a beautiful way! There is potency in the drama in this piece demonstrated delicately with the weight of objects left behind by loved ones on the people left with them. This play's reference to an unseen car and being an "exterior" set play makes it great for 10-minute play festivals and easily produced! I also appreciate a 9/11 play that doesn't retraumatize the audience!

This first date gone wrong is funny, tantalizing, and still hits home with a punch about how nothing can be casual anymore when our country is going to hell-in-a-handbasket. When we used to take time to get to know one another and now there is a desperate need to know the other's politics before letting them buy you a drink. Would love to see this one!

Like most of Asher's monologues, I am thrown right into the fire with this one and I am ready to watch it all BURN! Lidia is a hyper-realistic portrayal of being a womxn on the sidewalk pretty much anywhere in America. The cat-calling, the harrassment, and the "why don't you smile" BS. I love that Lidia stands her ground and this play ends in a place of power without violence. Thumbs way up!

Deirdre does it again! A funny, smart, and twisted ten-minute play. I love that I wasn't exactly sure "where this train was going" but I was ready to stay on for the ride. This play is also ripe for production given its setting and also the pacing of the script.

A beautiful play! The words float off the page in a way that I don't feel as if I am reading a play but I am hearing it with my eyes. I also love that it's a short play in the depression era which I don't feel like I see often enough. The pain in the upcoming change is palpable. "I don't want to talk about how there is no freedom in any of it" rang especially true today.

I saw this play at the Boston Theater Marathon years ago and I still think about it. It is a beautiful gut-wrenching play about a couple dealing with a very real thing in a very intimate and also ruined space. What this play does so well is creating tension through the language and also the bed being a physical obstacle to their healing. The final moment of this play is worth using a teaching lesson of how to imbed one magical moment or "magical stage direction" into every play, even a ten minute.

This play was ridiculous and perfect! Thank you for embracing something totally out of the box for a 10 minute play while also still being contained enough to actually work in a festival! I laughed and also felt the love and joy for Tami and Bucky, and found their romance very sweet -- especially the coupons part. So glad I got to see it at the Boston Theater Marathon. James, you had the audience rolling in the aisles.

This is a funny and light 10-minute play that I thoroughly enjoyed at the Boston Theater Marathon. It owned its campiness and leaned into that humor/horror genre in a clever way. Both characters had clear and distinct wants that can often time be forgotten in a premise driven campy 10 minutes, but they were pivotal and crucial here! I enjoyed the twist that the two women knew each other. Anyone doing a Halloween festival, choose this one!
