  • Nora Louise Syran: MACRO [A MONOLOGUE] by Steven G. Martin
    “

    A lovely reflection on living and appreciating the moment, living "within it". Seeing the world up close. This piece is pure poetry. Punctuated by the click and intake of breath. Necessary indeed.

    A lovely piece with plenty of staging possibilities and a beautiful conclusion...or beginning, of understanding. With plays like this, we've a chance to understand that "Things around us matter. They have to."

  • Nora Louise Syran: US AMBASSADOR TO UKRAINE: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    Painful. We listen in to one side of a "business" call between ambassadors. A swift reminder of what's at stake historically and morally for Ukraine, the USA and the world. Wyndham's monologue is a reminder to us all that we need to speak up or others will do the speaking/dealing for us.

    "Who gives a shit about bees?" -- Hmmm. Who indeed!? Welcome, ladies and not-so-gentlemen, to The Hive. Brava, Colette Murphy. Love how it builds tension. About as satisfying as the increasing decor on those honeycomb walls.

    Creepy! Love how all the pieces fit together. A super short thriller with echoes of film-noir but rooted firmly in today. Bravo.

    Love the 4th wall breaking, sexist sobriquets and puns galore. Great fun.

    Thespian Witches desperately try to stick with tradition in hiring a third witch for their production of the Scottish play in this "day and age" when "no one wants to look at old hags!" Love the ad-libbed rhyming couplet and, like, OMG, the phobia itself. Catch the Theatrical Shenanigan's production https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com

    The critiques of this poor playwright's work are so over the top it builds to the point of ridiculous. Love the pedantic spellchecker. Catch the production by Theatrical Shenanigans: https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/

    "What made you get into theatre?" A Beckett-inspired wait for a missing actor leads to a sharing of confidences. A tender piece. Catch the production by Theatrical Shenanigans: https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/
