If you're deciding whether or not to have a kid, read this play. If you're a parent with a newborn, you'll definitely relate, and learn something about yourself. This play on newborn parenting is full of physical comedy that it'll be a workout for two actors -- and a lot of fun for an audience! A director will find a lot to work with this in this perfectly structured play. Perfect for a comedy showcase and any festival on parenting.

Totally unexpected, a fun time like a Ionesco/David Ives play. A great play for a costume designer.

A lovely memory of a man that worked farm land. Beautiful as a Iago poem by RS Thomas.

This surprising, emotionally effective play would speak to a variety of gay men in your audience, to guys from different generations -- young, middle age and senior. A multi-generational spectacle that reminds me of Three Tall Women, Martin's play forces gay men to react to their present situation and think about their choices and actions in the past. Have we lived fully? If the answer is No, if you're feeling some regret and sadness, then this play may force the gay men in your audience to (re)examine their life, love more. Just perfect for your LGBTQ festival.

Damn, this short play packs a punch! Satire on white privilege and white American passivity and ignorance that holds up a mirror to most white Americans even those with best intentions. This would make a perfect selection for any short play production on political themes.

Eddie's self-doubt on his wedding day becomes a stream-of-consciousness spectacle -- he immediately charms us because we see ourselves in him. This play contains one of the most effective internal monologues I've read in a long time. This would be a hit at any solo festival on the theme of love/romance and marriage, or any February showcase.

One of the most unsettling, creepiest monologues I've ever read. At first I was totally disgusted by this man threatening the life of another, and then surprisingly intrigued by this man's predicament, his decision whether or not to commit an act of violence. With a monstrous character, Martin makes us think about ourselves and our desire for destruction, our limits to empathy, the monster within us, the anger deep down. This would make a great selection for a Halloween showcase.

Again and again Partain amazes me with the emotional depth of her monologues, it's a poetry of the body -- the full body. Regardless of my differences with the character in respects to age and sex, I can identify with this, not the situation, but the feels. I've been there, had this heartache, and maybe you as well. Read. Share it. Produce it.

A ridiculous comedy with cosmic porportions set in a grocery store aisle. Unexpected turns of theatricality, a spectacle made even more memorable by its philosophical questions on existence and the universe. Just perfect for a comedy showcase. It will appeal to audiences outside of the U.S.. A great play for media designers, esp. in college

This is so much fun, I was laughing beginning to end, several laughs a page. A perfect parody of dating shows, some raunchy humor, but it's not slight even though it's short -- says a lot about gay culture and the larger culture that permits down low hook ups and cheating. Perfect for a gay comedy fest.
