    We cling to every word - from the funny but poignant airport-monologue to the final moment for these two characters (reconciled lovers??) - it's lovely.

    A beautiful poem that could be crafted as a experimental choreopoem for actors.

    You'd think the private space, homelife, a living room for a couple would be a safe place during this crisis. This playwright reminds us it isn't, and that intimacy and connection and communication is difficult. It reaches a feverish intensity in believable escalation.

  • Asher Wyndham: Do You Get It by Philip Middleton Williams

    Devastating little monologue. The ending has a weight that sits on your heart.
    Makes you question patriotism and its relation to war.
    This mother is from 1970s but her fears and her questions are for all future mothers.
    This would be a fine addition to a showcase of plays on American history or Vietnam War.

    The most ridiculous audition play! The casting director's monologue would be a smart choice for an audition.

    You'd think such a story concept wouldn't be so heartfelt, but it was. A smart choice for a comedy showcase.

    Many of us could easily connect with these characters and their struggle to belong and make sense of so much pain and loss in their lives.
    Immensely theatrical, Bruce's play swallows you whole like a big whale.
    Most plays are just fine treading the shoreline - this one goes deep, deep in the ocean.
    Another challenging - certainly rewarding - play for designers.

  • Asher Wyndham: Missing Grace by John Perovich
    “

    Perovich's play explores the emotional tension between a married couple after the death of a child. Many readers/audience members who are not married/partnered could probably relate - sometimes the death of a love one creates a divide - communication and trust breakdown - frustration, anger - between family members or friends. The mourning process is complex, and this play's structure shows that in action, at times through magical realism. It's a difficult play - it's heartbreaking - but it's ultimately a hopeful play. It's a tight script, the pacing is perfect. Easy to produce. Check it out.
