Like an open scene, there are so many ways to interpret the subtext in this short. All have a sting of past tragedy as well as tragedy to come. The flavor of those tragedies are up to the artistic team and audience as well. Haunting.

This made me feel like I was recognizing dreams, too. Like we're all connected whether we're real or fiction, we're all connected. We just have to listen and share. A most charming tapestry of a tale.

Omg. This is the magic we all need. I adore this. It's matter of fact magic, which makes it attainable to any of us. If we find the right shop!

Garret’s intentions are so good and admirable. But there’s still an air of sadness about him. I love how friendly he is with everyone he interacts with, but I still feel he keeps everyone at a distance. There’s a chasm that feels deceptively wide, hidden behind his easy banter with fellow volunteers. I hope he is retiring early to do something good for himself. What he deserves is a warm hug!

Oh this is a good lesson. Especially for those who "long for the good ol days." The good ol days were just as bad as now. It's just now is right in our faces. I love the tease of the title without ever really saying it in the dialogue, because its definition means it must not be spoken by these characters who truly are looking forward!

At first I thought I knew exactly who Darcy was making herself smaller for, but that detail doesn't matter. The details of what make Darcy Darcy and her dress HER dress are what matter. I hope she finds her voice and her joy at her wedding! Lena is a good ear and this will be delightful to stage.

This is a love poem in the style of Faulkner-stream of consciousness-and yet I want to bathe in the stream of these words. "There is nothing erstwhile about you. Everything is in the present.
You... are always in the present." Starting with youthful crushes that end up crushing you and spiraling to the now, these words become vows and cuddles and everything that is good in the world wrapped in one monologue. Scott Sickles creates word babies that I want to grow up with and never lose touch!

I love the power of the last line. Full of tension and revelations, this play moves quickly to a twisted conclusion.

Oh no, this is a sci-fi/comic/artistic horror! I was laughing until I was scared this is too familiar in our world of theatrical endeavors. “Meanwhile on the Erstwhile “ is too funny though!

What a sweet tale of mutual animosity. Sometimes old patterns are hard to shake and these two enemies were meant to be!
