  • Asher Wyndham: BLOOD TIES

    This perfectly paced, emotionally complex short play made me think hard about what freedom really means.
    A smart choice for two women, great for scene study in college or any festival inspired on the Civil War or any festival on race or the American Dream.

  • Asher Wyndham: TRANSDROID (a three-minute play)

    This playwright covers a lot in three minutes. This clever concept hooks you immediately. It'd be a great addition to a science fiction showcase.
    I'd love to see these characters in a full length!

  • Asher Wyndham: Light a Candle for the EXvangelical

    Heartfelt, tense drama questioning faith that feels unforced.
    There's something here, from either character perspective, that someone could relate to.
    A conversation starter for believers of all faiths or those that left the faith.

  • Asher Wyndham: SEEING EYE

    How much of your inner self, your insecurities and fears, do you let people in your life see? How much is too much? How much of your emotional weight do you expose? SEEING EYE is a necessary -- rare -- play that deals with disability -- blindness -- but it's not the definining characteristic for its protagonist. Jason illicits empathy not because he's blind, no; we feel for him because he desires for a connection with someone else that's authentically human and sexy AF. The scenes unfold beautifully as they deal with intimacy, communication and trust. PRODUCE THIS!

  • Asher Wyndham: Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY)

    That moment in your teen years when your friend has other friends. Malakhow captures a moment that most people can relate to or remember. The language, frustration, and tension of this moment seems so uncontrived, authentic, it's astounding.
    This would be a great scene-study for beginning actors and a smart selection for any short play showcase.

  • Asher Wyndham: God Forbid (a three minute play)

    Here's the logic of gun owners -- those men that just want to protect their home and family -- dramatized with a bit of comedy. This play made me think about gun violence from breaking and entering or robberies that seem inevitable to most people -- they think, it will happen someday so I have to be prepared. But gun violence as a result of the above mentioned situations is not inevitable - if we do something about gun violence, limiting guns, removing guns from the wrong people. Consider this conversation-starter play for your festival on gun violence.

  • Asher Wyndham: Pure Madness

    There's an evil joy in this play that seems to pay homage to the wicked scientists and their henchmen from Saturday morning cartoons. The big gestures, the made-up words, the plotting, the highs and lows of our two characters -- it's pure entertainment for all ages. All ages, yes - kids from elementary and middle school and their parents and friends - everyone - will enjoy this sci-fi-comedy.
    This would be a hit at any sci-fi-themed festival or any comedy showcase.
    It would be hee-larious to see kids in these roles.

    Bohannon is one of the few playwrights on NPX that can make me laugh out loud!

  • Asher Wyndham: The Fierce Urgency Of Now

    If you have worked in an office or any workplace where good intentions were absent, where the verbal attacks piled on high with the assignments, where trust and character were tested -- then DeVita's comedy is for you.
    Some of the snappiest and fiercest dialog I've come across in a long time.
