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!

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!

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!

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!

What I appreciate about Joe Swenson's writing is that it's absolutely honest, frank and (seemingly) without artifice. So much darkness and so much light. Cycles of pain throughout the centuries and yet also the constant sources of light and healing. You've sparked many memories in your readers, of that I am sure. A touching piece.

A walking pathetic fallacy! Loved it. Witty banter juxtaposed with real warmth despite the cold atmospheric weather throughout. Well done!

Gatton moves naturally from a toilet paper shortage to a seemingly clueless sibling’s questions on protocol to something wholly unnatural—never missing a beat. I came across this play performed by the author and Mirande Jonte on “Back Porch Theater”. A ten minutes well spent!

Lovely and heart-wrenching. Emotional and stark. Effective shifts between time, place and the blending of atmospheres, and memories. Strong female roles, especially Eileen as she navigates her way through her promise to our system of justice and her own mourning process. Superb.

"Interesting." "Well..." it definitely isn't Hamlet "performed by a group of chickens roaming in a field in Uzbekistan" but Hamlet on Ice could very well be the way forward in this topsy-turvy "incomprehensible shitty Shakespeare crap" world we're living in. Love the characters who say so very little and thereby say so much. Great fun!

Great fun. The broken fourth wall throughout adds to the freaky French hamlet feel. Favorite line: "...even though the constable’s third daughter was available with an heir ready to pop."
