Lawing's speakers carry an emotional weight that you can feel, and he doesn't have to overdo it which makes these monologues even more powerful. Someone needs to produce an evening of his monologues.

Can you bw a part of neighborhood if you don't follow the rulebook, the traditions and expected door and yard displays during the holidays? Lawing captures a lonely woman in a lively neighborhood who struggles with connection that may make you think about your own place in your neighborhood.

Chills, and it wasn't from my iced water. Perfect build that pays off. Perfect for your Halloween festival of shorts and monologues.

An auditioning actor would have fun with this physical monologue.

Not many AI plays out there and this one is a romantic comedy. With structured intensity and plenty of surprises, this play makes you wonder where AI is going to take us, especially in our relationships. Check it out.

With eagle eye survey of the land, this playwrights introduces us to a gallery of characters that reminded me of the Our Town Narrator. I'd love to see them in a longer work, even the hamsters. Beautiful writing.

Hilarious. What a great story concept for a comic monologue. Your audience will be cracking up.

This monologue keeps the reader guessing, line by line, thinking one thing then another thing. Your mind goes in the gutter, inferring one something about the speaker's life & "relationship". And then it goes to the heart. And then HAHA. I'd love to see this live with an audience and hear that final reaction.

This has a punk feel to it that reminds me of Kathy Acker's novel on Rimbaud and Verlaine. A smashing of historical facts and fiction, Victorian language spiced with contemporary references, a naughty tale that incorporates vampires with Lord Byron. One of Lawing's best. Perfect for a queer festival.

The dialog is sparse, but this play isn't short on substance, themes, ideas and questions around masculinity, making us think long and hard about social expectations and toxic behavior of men right now. The reunion between these guys, former best buds, is believable. We've all had that awkward reunion with someone like Kirk, in your apartment or some bar. Or are you Kirk? Or Toby who's playing the part like many men in society, getting married, having a kid, perfect job and home? Is one guy healthier than the other? What does success really mean for a guy these days?
