  • Asher Wyndham: Can't Live Without You

    Why can't anyone except Donny see Bobby? That question kept me turning the pages. This play is NOT fluff, the stuff of the romance novels Donny writes; it's an intelligent, honest presentation of a common artistic dilemma -- choose an easy life creating art that sells or creating art that matters to you? This dilemma is presented with great theatricality and humor that makes for an engaging entertainment. I enjoyed the Act 2 scene where lovers act out what Donny types -- HILARIOUS!

  • Asher Wyndham: The Veils

    Dear Artist. Read this play. Three strong roles for women. The playwright does a fine job creating tension between the sisters, Mel and Harmony, that at times it's like they're in a war zone. The story concept is compelling, and as you read you want to know, Why isn't Mel as excited as her sister Harmony about the bridal dress and the wedding? What's with the dripping sound? What went wrong in Afghanistan? Believable, intensifying dialog; moments of brutal honesty like little explosions; touching moments of sisterhood; shocking cruelty; eerie images; moving revelations -- a thoroughly...

  • Asher Wyndham: Fabulous Monsters

    Burbano rocks! This play is more than just fun -- it has some great songs -- it's also a compelling story about friendship, lost and renewed. The playwright does a fine job building tension between Slade and Luisa, especially in Scenes 4 and 9 --exceptional playwriting. The play is full of surprises, compelling intimacy, and beautiful lines. Hey, artistic directors, produce this play; actors/directors, get this play produced -- a great play for female actors!

  • Asher Wyndham: Halfway, Nebraska

    I was fortunate to listen to two readings of an earlier version of this play. I highly recommend this play for production. You may not agree with Sheila's objective, but you can't keep your eyes off her. She's an extraordinary character, a great challenging role for an actor. This play is brutal, intense, shocking, at times offensive, but that is what makes for memorable theatre. A fine example of necessary theatre.
