This. This is the perfect dark comedy. Don't dismiss this as a silly comedy about getting even with the person that steals food at work; it's much more, it targets the amoralism or just plain nastiness of workers who know nothing about ethics. Or maybe it's just the perfect dark comedy. If you've had your lunches stolen at work, this play is for you. A smart choice for any comedy festival.

The emotional density of the dialog is impressive. Heartbreaking from beginning to end. A perfect 10-minute for two actors. I can see this being produced all over the country and the world. Highly recommended. I look forward to reading other work by Audrey Webb.

I highly recommend this wacky play about postpartum depression, anxiety about being a new parent, and regret. At one moment I'm shocked by this women's objection to being a mother and her awful thoughts about her newborn, and then the next I was totally understanding her and she's breaking your heart. A ten-minute like no other -- just like the award-winning play Pussy Sludge. Expect the unexpected with Gracie Gardner. I will definitely check out her other plays.

This play exemplifies why theatre is necessary. It elicits empathy for Prisoner and other inmates while exploring them as minorities within a racist 'System' (Prison). They're locked-up, but their reflections on Life, Liberty, Happiness -- American Identity -- and Time, Death, Love -- their individual philosophies -- free them. And empower the audience outside the Prison to think about making the best use of Time and Life. A BIG play like the plays it references - Beckett's, Genet's, Baldwin's; it's stellar playwriting, the dialog between Prisoner, Sister and son some of the best I've read on NPX! PRODUCE THIS!!!!!!

A monologue unlike any other -- one without an actor on stage. How's that even possible? Check it out. A wacky Wellmanesque oddity and spectacle. A f'd up monologue that's really charming. A play for now and the future. Plays without actors. With inanimate objects, bots, AI.

A doomsday/meet-cute comedy has never been so much fun! Never a dull moment.

In utopia or, at least, a country that respects trans, this play wouldn't be necessary. Sadly, it's needed. It's a political play that records and testifies to the marginalization of trans in the Age of Trump -- and it reminds us that the best response to inequality/discrimination/injustice/fear is to NOT wait for things to slowly change, but step foward boldly without shame and be your true self -- and put on that dress. That dress of identity and courage. Highly recommended for political-themed and LGBTQI/Pride-themed festivals.

The anti-terrorist agents Vinnie and Ekram in Nelson's short are a bit like the Robert Langdon/Vittoria Vetra duo from Dan Brown and Don Adams and Barbara Feldon from Get Short. What they are up to on top of a glass prism is a one-of-a-kind idea. I would love to see these two in a longer piece.

The ending of 'The Red Truck' hits you - like a truck. What happens after the last line - an emotional reaction for both character and audience - is not - intentionally - suggested or stated. This perfectly executed monologue makes an intimate connection - without closure even after curtain falls or blackout - between audience and the character on stage. She's speaking to us - not the theatre audience - the stage audience; we are in her world, her disgusting America - a country where men traumatize and assault women from girlhood to adulthood. Produce it. Audition it.

'Since November I’ve seen more swastikas than I’ve seen in my whole life.' Unfortunately, that statement in Bublitz's monologue is one that Jewish-Americans have said (in a little different way) since the 2016 election. If you enjoy the writerly ease and specificity of Donald Margulies' monologues - esp. 'Lola' or 'I Don't Know What I'm Doing' - you'll love the monologue 'Blue.' Stellar -- it's active without physical action, but active in how this woman articulates her discomfort, her recognition of entitlement, and fear in the Age of Trump. If I was a producer, I'd choose this!
