A stunning examination of the death penalty and all its complexities. It unfolds seamlessly from gallows humor to deep philosophical questions. At no point did it feel heavy handed or like it was imposing answers, rather it was an invitation to thoughtful introspection of the death penalty from all sides. How appropriate it is set in a diner, because it will give your audience a lot of food for thought!

This is a powerful, important play about a chapter of American history that was just a few short generations ago. Eugenie Chan explores this world with poetic, music-like prose and imagery. I wish I had the words to describe this play better, but it was one of those scripts that leaves you speechless.

Wow! What a great piece! It has this sparkling, nostalgic dialog; it played with the well-tread plot tropes of young lovers; and then takes it all and turns it on its head.

So wrong! And yet so right! It leans into every single murder mystery trope, spins it around, and turns it on its head. It's an absurd riff of Clue and Agatha Christie tied up in a Tom Stoppard bow. Absolutely hilarious! It would make such a fun addition to an evening of 10-minute pieces.

This play is like a ballet with dialog that weaves in and out of different worlds with precision timing. I adored how it pushes the theatrical form and would love to see it in action! Never read anything like it before!

A tense psychological thriller filled with sparkling dialog and fantastic roles for women. It delves into the darker side of humanity as these women seek to take down a Jack the Ripper-like killer, but does so in a way that explores the injustices and abuses that women endure. It is never heavy handed, but also doesn't shy away. I was also impressed with the historic details of this play, down to the inclusion of jujitsu that many women of the era learned in order to protect themselves. This play is one-of-a-kind!

Great pacing! Wonderful characters! Atmosphere so thick, you could cut it with a dagger! This entire play is moody, joy-filled, swashbuckling fun.

Absolutely hilarious with a delightful ending you won't see coming! I can see this being a real crowd pleaser in an evening of shorts!

They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and this true crime story of a mass murder will grab you by the throat from the first page and never let go. A terse, psychological drama filled with tension and verbatim quotes from the actual trial. A remarkable play.

Oh, sure, you've got the fun of ghosts and hauntings and murder, but it is the rhythms of the dialog that really sets this piece apart from the crowd. The characters in this radio play are so rich and fully formed (so to speak. You know. For ghosts.) The whole play is an absolute treat to the ears!
