  • Asher Wyndham: Forgive Me Cosmo, For I Have Sinned

    This monologue would be a lot of fun for a great comedy actress - she gets to make various voices - and in doing so create physically, briefly, a different woman/personality. It's sexy, silly, random, and very short, but not slight: it makes you think how our sexual identity, how we view our bodies and how we relate to someone else between the sheets and how we talk about sex, is influenced by media, especially fashion magazines. Check it, especially if you're considering producing an evening length of monologues/solos on sex. Inventive!

  • Asher Wyndham: Call Him Mom!

    A beautiful reminder that the memory of childhood, the joy of being a kid, can make you stronger as an adult, it can transform you, give you the energy to live truthfully. Poetic, poignant, a monologue for a trans male that deserves productions at your LGBTQ or trans-themed festival.

  • Asher Wyndham: 80 Cards

    Bravo! Never read a play -- a monologue -- like this before. Inventive! Funny! And an easy monologue to perform--and it's only 80 "pages"!

  • Asher Wyndham: PERMISSION

    A necessary play for #metoo theatre. Perfectly structured, a great example of a ten minute play. Produce this play!

  • Asher Wyndham: Storm Eye Closing

    I've never read a play before that takes place inside a video game! The costuming and the set design would be a fun challenge. This would be a wicked blast of fun for college students attending a black box theatre play or anyone attending a sci-fi-themed play festival. Just a lot of fun, that's it - you got a storm cloud brewing, video game guns firing, cursing. It's great that the play calls for open casting - any race, any gender.

  • Asher Wyndham: Parent / Teacher Night, a Monologue

    Elementary and high school teachers in the audience will definitely relate to this English teacher. The exasperation with a failing-grade educational system that awards and passes failing students -- that's something that should be not only a teacher's concern, but a parent's concern -- it's also a social problem that deserves government oversight. This smart choice for any festival dealing with education and social issues. The final moment will hit you, that heartbreak will also be yours even if you're not a teacher, totally unexpected. I look forward to reading more monologues by Boyle!

  • Asher Wyndham: PRACTICE HOUSE

    Carnes is inventive and daring like Caryl Churchill. Although Carnes' PRACTICE HOUSE is not playing with characters from time periods (it's 1930s), the liveliness and rich language and distinct personalities clashing, as well as its feminist concerns, makes it as captivating as Churchill's Top Girls. There's no Household Manual for wives today (they're the opposite of these students of Home Economics); however, the social contract -- or expecations -- that young women follow hasn't change much since the 1930s. That's what's surprising about this play. Producers -- you better have Carnes on...

  • Asher Wyndham: The Landlord

    There's a complexity in this play that makes it a difficult, thought-provoking theatre. Yes, patriarchy sucks, and landlords like POS Earl in this play are part of the social problem, but when survival is at stake --trying to keep your apartment -- battling the forces in power, contesting sexism everyday may be a difficult and conflicting thing to do. And it shouldn't be! The Earls are going to come back again and again, so how will the Jyn Ersos and feminist male troopers of this world going to respond? Give it a read; better produce it.

  • Asher Wyndham: Green Sound

    The connection, intimacy, delicacy between the two characters in Bray's play is what many people long for or what has been lost. Audience members will be immediately charmed by these characters, and the play may inspire them to flirt! Poetic monologues from Taylor and color-language of Molly, and their special way of talking to each other, stripping beneath the superficial and getting to essence of being human -- is beautiful. Highly recommend for high school and college theatre as well as professional theatres.

  • Asher Wyndham: Grandmother's Ring

    Wow! What a treat, perfect for a Halloween showcase! No blood, no zombies, no monsters, no cliches. You could say it's unexpected, but this excellent craftsman is always writing the unexpected. Funny and creepy at the same time. Kind of like a chocolate-covered severed finger. Highly recommended!
