A history play inspired by real characters and real events. Wholly engaging . . . and, yes - deeply disturbing. I do not use the word "disturbing" lightly for the fact that the ordeal & situations which serve as the plays backdrop - if you will - are so striking & fortelling. History does, in fact, move cyclically, not in a straight line. Vivid characterization gives this work momentum. Nice job, Rich!

Emotionally and psychologically gripping from beginning to end with not a single note of artifice or pretension. Yes, it was wholly believable. And that was the problem! Kudos, Bruce!

Impeccable storytelling from beginning to end. I'll always be a sucker for plays with three dimensioned characters that pull us through the journey of a play. My only regret is not seeing an actual performance of this work! Darkness, violence and wit! Quite a package!

We can never, ever have enough of such slice-of-life/end-of-life plays as this. Never! Beautifully rendered and incisive. What would seem tragic is actually life affirming. Thank you, Mr. Alterman!

With a nod to Kafka & Harold Pinter ("One For The Road"), Arianna Rose has crafted a parable for our time. Were it not for the current socio/polical dilemma, I would not have found it so unnerving.

The stories of Jim Thompson & the films of Sam Peckinpah are brought to mind in this gripping parable set on the southern border. The dialogue is at times stinging, at other moments lyrical. The characterization is amazingly solid for such a short piece. Highly theatrical. Kudos, Mr. Hodges!

No, I have not yet seen a production of this play. Yet I was fortunate in being blessed with the sound mind to read & enjoy it. The play speaks to our time with a clear and defining voice. Sweet, gently melodramatic and ultimately tragic, with 2 vivid and dimensioned characters who seem effortlessly realized. Mr. Harrison David Rivers clearly has a distinctive voice. I look forward to reading/seeing more of his work.

I love actually "hearing" a piece as I read it. And the sound of "the broad of your back" was percussive, biting, sensuous. It could be whispered, growled, purred or shouted, with the body in perpetual movement. Ah, yes! The piece begs to be performed! Very nice, Miranda!

The horror of January 6, 2021 is writ large within the heart of the two characters. Every moment of this small piece was deeply felt. This play, like the event of that awful day, will not be forgotten. Remarkable work, Mr. Minigan!

"Score" is proof that a one-minute play need not be a mere finger exercise, but a complete, even visceral work in and of itself. Darkly humorous, frightening, painful. It stayed with me for days.
