    It's an interesting combination of "Groundhog Day" and "Private Lives". Does a great job of mixing up styles and keeping the audience guessing. A smart and entertaining play!

    Wow. This is an amazing 10 minute play that I would love to see performed. Both naturalistic and highly theatrical with a gripping storyline and dynamic lead character. Everyone should read this play!

    A tour de force vehicle for the right actor. The play showcases some very innovative ways of storytelling with an ending that can only be described as brutal. Brilliant 5 page play. Must-read.

    Muse, indeed. A very interesting meditation on creativity. Where inspiration comes from and what we do with it. Characters were delightful and inherently theatrical. Packs a lot into 10 minutes. Great read!

    Great play with a great acting challenge for a young actress. Frightening story with pretty strong implications for the world we live in. Gives you plenty to think about. Thumbs up!

    High concept minimalist theatre at its best. Totally original but reminds me of something Sam Shepard might’ve written in his younger days. Characters are solid, real and truthful. Despite all the symbolism, this play feels frighteningly honest. Would love to see it performed!

    A great example of how powerful dialogue with tension can be. I was absolutely riveted throughout my reading of this play about loyalty, values, legacy and loss.

    Love the irony in the title. Tons of relatable moments throughout this short play. Also has great structure for actors and a director to play with. The ending is perfect, both comic and profound.

    A great mystery tale, where the suspense is handled perfectly. Also a great vehicle for the actor playing the heiress. The writing is both poetic and terse, giving a wonderful payoff at the end.

    A stunning play. What happens when a family’s entire reality and set of boundaries is defined by social media. Everyone’s in on it, parents and kids. Fascinating dialogue, very tightly crafted play. Very strong recommendation from me. Great work!
