  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: Forgive Thyself

    Forgive Thyself is a delicious piece of writing, meaning real food for thought, and a view of God that beats any Sunday school lesson, confirmation conclave or sermon that I ever heard. Ten pages of fine, yet light hearted common sense. Thank you, Mr. Busser

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: VOICES!

    Polemic arguments are among the most difficult tasks for any dramatist. But Nedra Petzold Roberts manages to create a kind of polemic poetry in a scene wherein the souls of G.B.Shaw and Joan of Arc dispute the validity of belief. Roberts has a fine ear for Shavian language, and it's fine fun to see a saint humble the great man. Read Voices!

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: Stiff Competition

    Just in time for Halloween, John Busser proves to be Master of the Macabre with a delicious middle school tale of misplaced body parts, as well as a fine putdown of science fair politics.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: The Disappearance of Greta

    The Disappearance of Greta is not a fairy tale...and yet it is. In 1943 Berlin foul mouthed Nazis play the wicked witch, Greta is the heroine, and a fourteen year old boy works saving magic within the web of nasty realism, This lovely play is prime Plumridge.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: Miss R.R.Hood Versus The Wolf.

    One cannot take umbrage with Christopher Plumridge. Once again he's turned a fairy tale on its head and made it dance with fun in Miss R.R.Hood Versus the Wolf.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: Cows 'N' Moon

    In Cows N' Moon, Christopher Plumridge writes with such charming whimsy that makes me want to read all of his work...which this weekend I shall proceed to do.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: The Cardinal

    DC Cathro never fails to delight me. In nine rich, relentless pages he wrestles with queerness, Catholicism, a mother and her son...and a very red bird called a cardinal.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: The Bad Boy of the Sonnets

    Whether thine or thee, who will Will be?
    This little sonnet's Rinkle's gift we'll see.
    A deft and musing writer wrinkling history.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: Teaching Professor Langstrom

    I've written three plays about gay seduction, and I'm proud of them. But I'd be so proud if they wound their springs as tightly and flipped the switches as smoothly as DC Cathro does in Teaching Professor Langstrom. This is a fine and memorable play.

  • Kenneth N. Kurtz: The Hunter

    A solid spoof of bear hunting. "Well Done!"
