As a voice over artist myself, it was kind of nice to see The Voice Over Guy be the one in charge here. Carl Dimby needs more help than a little VO PR. But that's what makes this play so funny! The voice over drives the story and adds to the atmosphere, as it should, but Carl's reactions give it power. There are so many laugh out loud moments! This is a play your theatre wants to produce...in a world gone mad, laughter will save us all!

This is an interesting concept around a somewhat familiar and terrifying topic. Someone TRYING to get sick in order to avoid the pressures of life? At first you just want to shake Molly for thinking this way, but then you just want to hold her tight because she just seems so lost in the world. George is such a kind person to her, but you can tell he too is scared, but for other reasons. And the nicknames Williams gives the disease seeking people of this world are clever and dark. A play that will truly leave you thinking.

I was constantly wiping tears away from the moment I read "WAIT" at the end of the play within a play, to the very end of this whole piece. It's a memory play, but it also is a love letter. To love. Love isn't always pretty and perfect. Love is costly, because it costs you your heart. Philip Middleton Williams has definitely given his heart to not only the characters in this play, but to the audience that witnesses it as well. And that is the bravest act of love of all. The love you give away. A beautiful play.

The way the voices taunt poor Carla hits home so hard. We all have those dark voices in our heads, but when you throw in the stress of a new baby and the extreme lack of sleep, the voices become more and more powerful. The Silence also refers to the fact that people are afraid to talk about how often this happens to new mothers. New parents aren't always prepared for postpartum depression, even though they may have HEARD of it. It affects people differently, and most new mothers are shocked that it happens to them. Sad and well written.

Yup. I totally Laughed Out Loud reading this fast paced play! The LOLs are as real as the mindless consumerism this one act skewers. This was such a delight to read, I can only imagine, with the right cast and a fun design how great this will be to actually WATCH! Great take on the zombies, too!

"If the walls could talk..." Maybe they would help give you perspective on your life? At first it seems Karoleena is here to help Bunny avoid some bad choices in the heat of passion. But maybe she's there to help Branch finally make some good choices? Truly a fun play, would be a blast for the design team as well!

"Stuck in the middle with you." That's the song I'm hearing in my head as I finish reading this one act play. It's delightful to picture a demon, running a bar, training an angel to be just a little human. The details we get through Raum's gentle, but pointed ribbing of Cass is so beautifully delivered, we feel like we've known them both...for a while. A great addition to an evening of theatre!

"well-behaved" angels rarely make history. This is so funny to see grumpy angels trying to relive the old days when they were taken seriously at their jobs. Wobensmith's pen is as mighty as Michael's sword, showing us relatable celestial beings who are still just the slightest bit intimidating. This would be a great show to design as well! Lots of fun packed into 10 minutes or less!

It's about time Petruchio got what was coming to him! If you have a love/hate relationship with The Taming of The Shrew, then you definitely need to join O'Felia as she helps Kate retain her sense of self and saves her from gaslighting, mansplaining men! A true delight!

This is the stuff that nerds like me eat right up! So many laugh out loud moments! And you really don't have to know a LOT about astronomy to get all the jokes, but it DOES make it a LOT funnier if you do. Who knew, even as a grown up, I could have fun while learning? This is SO MUCH FUN! Love it!
