  • Asher Wyndham: SH*T TRAIN

    This sh*t train goes up hill! When you think it can't get any zanzier, it does, thanks to Carnes' bonkers-style comedy. This is a perfect satire on the ridiculousness and inconsistency of Trust-building and Standard of Work in the workplace, on the awkwardness of communication between newbie and supervisor. Just need two chairs and a desk, maybe just the bare stage. Highly recommended for comedy showcases across the globe! This universal comedy will appeal to people of different cities, countries and cultures. Produce it! Rachael: more office/work plays, please!

  • Asher Wyndham: Moving Day

    Can a one-minute play be a tearjerker? The answer may be yes if you produce Hageman's Moving Day. This universal playlet has a lightness - of text and space and movement - that will create a heaviness on any audience member's heart. Just perfect, beautiful.

  • Asher Wyndham: Arsinoë’s Fate - a monologue

    Young women from high school and college should take a break from contemporary monologues, and read Stubbles' monologue ARSINOE'S FATE. Did you know Cleopatra had a sister? I didn't know. Arsinoe's steeliness commands attention immediately. Consider this monologue for competition. I would love to see this character in a longer work.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Lesson (a monologue)

    This character with an English accent would be an incredible, fun challenge for an actress to embody. The emotional development of this character in a few pages is impressive: at the start she's stern, admonishing her students that reminds us of our worst teachers that we want to forget and then by the end she's a wreck and it breaks your heart. Speaks to the wounded creature inside many of us. Highly recommend for a solo festival.

  • Asher Wyndham: Fairy Noodle at the Ferry Noodle House (a Monologue)

    This noodle --yes, the character is a noodle -- will appeal to the superhero in all of us, that voice that speaks of a greater desire to save people and the world, to combat evil and destruction, to fight against injustice. Plenty of laughs for an audience. A costume designer would have a fun time designing a noodle costume. A perfect addition to a solo festival. I think a young performer would enjoy bringing this hero to the stage.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Tragedie of Rockford and Almira and the Cat - a Comedie

    This comedy is like a mashup of Tom & Jerry and Elizabethean theatre. One of Weaver's wackiest plays, and one of his most stylized plays. This would be a funtastic play for young high schoolers and adult actors that perform for children. I wouldn't be surprised if this play garners Best of Showcase awards and multiple productions in the U.S. and abroad.

  • Asher Wyndham: Eternal Caress

    Figuring out what happened before the play and learning what actually happened -- all of it told with a Poe-poetic creepiness -- gets under your skin. It's the language of memory, the narration that creates the horror, it's not blood and guts or zombie attacks - you don't need any of that for some sick fun at the theatre. There are many fine examples of description (the wind in the house, the meal) and insights about evil. Highly recommend this play for Halloween shows!

  • Asher Wyndham: The Three Es

    One of the best Iraq War plays I've read. From the startling first page to the heartbreaking conclusion, THE THREE Es is an enthralling dramedy about a military family waiting for the return of an injured serviceman. Each family member's struggle to come to terms with their new life and future responsiblities - some lose themselves with weed, alcohol, or pie - feels so authentic, perfectly paced and structured. Producers, directors should check out this play - it will be topical for a long time. It should be a hit with regional theatres!

  • Asher Wyndham: Hyrax Kid

    One of the greatest pleasures in my life is reading a Matthew Weaver play. This is one play that does it for me. Joy is rare in theatre, and Weaver makes it a spectacle.
