Feriend keeps the one-liners zipping along in this frenetic two-hander. She wisely leaves all of the other characters assumed, which makes this an easy play to stage and also wrings a lot of laughs from the two actual characters continually reacting to the unseen/unheard. Lots of fun to read and would be just as entertaining on stage.

Narratives about the world falling apart seen from a limited point of view are always powerful, and this is no exception. This tight, potentially Zoom-appropriate piece ratchets up the tension effectively and leaves the audience wanting more.

Baseball and absurdism are perhaps strange bedfellows, but they get along swimmingly in this zippy, funny, trenchant piece that nicely analogizes the sh*tstorm that COVID inflicted upon us. Probably not the easiest play to stage, but it leaps right off the page, especially the entirely unexpected and entirely appropriate twist.

A fascinating meta-absurdist piece that's a joy to read and I'm sure would be just as enjoyable to watch. I do enjoy when the stage directions get roped into the fun.

A conversation we've all had with our significant other at one time or another, well-encapsulated and leading up to an unexpected but appropriate ending. But whither "Love, Actually?"

A clever conceit (and title) make for an absorbing look at two men who’ve never moved past some of their childhood traumas. Cox does a good job building an atmosphere and setting that both result from the plot and contribute back to it, making for an engrossing journey that builds to a dramatic and highly appropriate climax.

The best twists are the ones you don’t see coming but in retrospect seem inevitable, and this play definitely has that. It also has well-written characters and some believable teen dialogue (which can be challenging to pull off.) Kudos for putting together such a complete piece is such a small package.

A tight piece that does a good job layering suspense and humor, topped with a solid ambiguous finale.

A hilarious, uber-meta take on Albee that had me guessing until the very (surprising) end.

Wow, there is a lot crammed into this ten-minute play! "Uncovering" manages to walk a tightrope of writing about a truly horrifying process and yet still humanizing its participants, and delivering some great one-liners in the process. Kudos to Mallon for writing a piece that is both absurd and thoughtful. Well done.
