Oh this is fun. I bet Darwin has a blast creating chaos. And in the most boring of places, like a check out line? So much room for hysteria and madness! Perhaps we should all be looking out for Darwin and Delaine before we just accept the world crumbling around us in the most innocuous of places. Like a check out line...a zoo...It could happen!!

The last line made me snap to attention. Yes, this is immersive and almost aggressively so, but when you hear the last line, it all makes sense! This is important to think about. And that is what good theatre should make audiences do...think.

Ooo! I even said that out loud after I finished reading this snack of a horror play! I love the character descriptions and just adored how Dot interacted with Line upon their entrance. This would be super fun to play...and analyze!

The simple wish of growing up...or out. I remember those days. This is delightfully funny, but also quite honest and real! And the advice Mrs Santa gives about "giving the gift to yourself,"? Yes!

Having read all of these one acts individually, I can say this is an evening of theatre that will move audiences, really make them think and keep them talking long after curtain call. This is smart theatre!

I'm not smart enough to fully understand this play, but I'm not too dumb to fully enjoy this play. It's beautiful. I don't understand math, space, time, physics, any of that. But I do understand love. I do understand grief. And I do understand longing. This play scientifically explains these intangible emotions and leaves us with hope to be free of the tethers that keep us from love.

I literally said "ohhh" out loud as I finished this play. Time travel is such a sticky wicket in story building, but Byham really makes it work in RELIC. This play moves in waves, some gentle, some crashing. The relationship between the two characters, played by 3 actors of varying ages, is absolutely beautiful. Like a landscape painting on a wall, you will discover new things at each passing of this play. Just very well crafted.

No one looks forward to cleaning out the personal belongings of a loved one after they passed. But when El and Fran discover a secret from their mother's past, it gives them an honest look of the full human with feelings their mother was. And perhaps to take stock of their own lives as well. A surprisingly moving piece with a funny premise. Just like real life.

I may need MorNorkin myself, because the “butt doctor” jokes are what had me laughing the hardest! But there is so much to love about this pharmaceutical commercial parody, even beyond the “inside playwright gags” that still play whether you catch them or not! Well done, Billy!

This is so layered in meaning. The Whipping (Person) sticks to the tradition their father had instilled in the family lineage, to professionally take the punishments in the royal prince(ss)‘s place. Archaic as this tradition is, Francis embraces it. Can father embrace a new way to address his child, though? A fascinating study in family and tradition.
