  • Nora Louise Syran: My Moment

    This is the final play in the collection "My Chatter"; the series of plays comes full circle round to the beginning, with a glimpse of a playwright once again but this time, her shining moment! Williams knows how to capture the intimacy of a couple and her comedies offer a welcome respite in these troubling times. A great laugh! Williams's collection captures Heather Matarazzo statement perfectly: “I smile so much at the theater my face hurts when I leave.” Applause to the playwright Rachel Feeny-Williams!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Tidy away my Soul

    This is the ninth and penultimate play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection of short comedies: "My Chatter" and it's one of my favorites. With a "Blithe Spirit" feel to it, nonetheless Williams carves her very own path and it's delightful. The energy is anything but "unbalanced"-- well done!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Scandals and Scones

    This is the eighth play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and it's funnier than an episode of Little Britain at the village fete. The dialogue is witty and full of energy. I cannot imagine anyone not being able to relate to at least one of the cast. And the ending with the exhausted mother, god love her! Fun!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Such a Waste

    This is the seventh play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and while it starts quite innocuously, it smacks of Cyrano de Bergerac in Jennifer's whittling Brad down to size. Great fun for the actors to play and full of lessons worth learning, for us all. Bravo!

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Basket Case

    This is the sixth play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and it's hysterical. I love a clever little caper and this delivers. We've all met a Mrs Morris and she's delightful. Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: After Happily Ever After

    This is the fifth play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and it's a lovely one. I love how the playwright's voice shines through. I can imagine the actors having a good laugh with this one. It has a nice never-never-ending to it... Well done!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Good Boy?

    This is the fourth play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and it's so much fun! It reminds me of the French film "Didier" by Alain Chabat but is even funnier! Well done! We root for all of the characters --four footed and bipeds alike-- and that's how it should be!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Emotionless

    This is the third play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" -- my chatter indeed! and boy does her husband miss it once it's gone. A fun premise, well executed. Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Meeting

    This is the first play in Rachel Feeny-Williams's collection "My Chatter" and it starts her short comedy play collection off with a bang! I particularly appreciated the theatre focus of the piece. It focuses on the "character" Rachel (hmmm...) and her drive to stay true to herself, her writing. Why is it some people who are so good with words socially find themselves with foot-in-mouth syndrome?! Funny!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Better (Full-length)

    Get ready to be fully immersed in a meat-processing plant with a lot more to it than first meets the eye. The evolution of the characters is wholly unexpected and yet inevitable. This is only my second reading of Vince Gatton's work and certainly not my last. He is an American playwright who exhibits "...a fierce moral sensibility which is unquenchable...he is... burning with some anger at the way the world is"-A Miller. Bravo!
