  • Asher Wyndham: Crush (10 min)

    A twisted comedy about the fine line between love and obsession, stalking and devotion. Or maybe not - maybe it's just about a cockroach that talks.
    It's disgusting - it gets under your skin - like, yuck - cockroaches - but it's weirdly beautiful.
    Beautiful because of the specificity to the writing - about relationship in space, about movement, about snow cones.
    I'd love to see this on stage - it'd be a fantasic show of physical comedy and movement.
    Costumers - read this play - and get others to make this happen!

  • Asher Wyndham: Cooking With Sylvia

    This is disgusting, sick, maybe a bit evil. Loved it!

  • Asher Wyndham: Signature Photo

    This is a compelling play from the first scene to the last. The crisis of consciousness for this photojournalist raises so many questions about journalism, art, and our responses to tragedy.
    Bucklin balances so many characters and perspectives, covering so much ground - numerous wars - it's astonishing.
    This is difficult theatre - and that's a compliment.
    Highly recommended for anyone interested in political or tragic theatre.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Bitter End

    Makes you think about all those women in loveless marriages until the very end.
    A complicated woman with an unusual response to her husband's death. What's the limit, when should we stop forgiving someone's transgressions?
    Consider this for a solo festival or festival on death and mourning.

  • Asher Wyndham: Grindr Bots Make the Best Boyfriends

    The gays in the audience will chuckle at this. A creative exploration of gay hook-up culture.
    This should be a staple of LGBTQ comedy play festivals.

  • Asher Wyndham: OPEN

    Anyone who has loved or anyone who has lost someone can relate to the Magician.

  • Asher Wyndham: #NotYouToo! - Monologue

    This monologue is fierce and raw.
    This will open your eyes to the harsh reality -- harassment, abuse, rape -- for many women in the Services.
    An excerpt from this would be a smart choice for an audition.

  • Asher Wyndham: Fénix

    Through the voice of this acid attack survivor Burbano targets the patriarchal hatred and disrespect for women across cultures. This monologue makes us think about women, regardless of their differences, that are attacked simply for existing, for claiming their space, for being angry.
    The playwright captures a resiliency in this woman, a spirit, a phoenix from the ashes that is astonishing, inspiring.
    Another stellar monologue from Burbano.
    Please write some more!

  • Asher Wyndham: Photos with my Rapist: A Two-Minute Monologue

    The voice of this sexual assault victim hit me right in the core.
    This plays reminds you that behind some perfect photos, some holiday snapshots, behind the illusion of perfect family, there's a secret, there's trauma and violence - something hidden for years, maybe forever.
    This kind of story is a metoo story that needs the stage. Consider this for your theatre program on sexual abuse and rape.

  • Asher Wyndham: One Summer Night

    Smith seems to have slowed down time in this dramedy set in a cemetery. It's an atypical setting for what could be a possible future relationship, but it allows for perfect connection for two strangers. It's a connection that's uncontrived, develops naturally, and allows for rumination on big themes - life, death, and love - and also teenage uncertainties and friendship.
