  • Bryan Stubbles: Rondo à la Bongo

    Ingenious play with nods to both Schnitzler's Reigen as well as Moazart - but a seperate entity altogether and very family friendly. Defineitely deserves more productions. A joy to read with the best ending possible.

  • Bryan Stubbles: RAMONA, A ZOMBIE NAZI ARMY KILLER WHO HAPPENS TO BE A PRE-TEEN GIRRRL: AN ARCADE MONOLOGUE

    Yay! Ramona the pre-teen girrrl dishes it out. "And they’re eating people in Washington D.C. like they’re feasting at OK Corral Buffet," is one of my favorite lines. Truly a masterpiece of the arcade theatre monogue genre [which Wyndham may have just inveneted]. Oh, and Ramona has a lot more going on than killing zombie Nazis...give it a read and find out what. Lovely.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Arlecchino Am Ravenous

    This play contains the line "So hungry am Arlecchino." and contains the stage direction of "Arlecchino shoves angel into his mouth and devours it." - if you love commedia dell'arte where the main characters refers to her/himself in the third person, this play is for you. If you enjoy auto-cannibalism onstage, this play is for you. If you want something fresh and different, yet with a tradition going back hundreds of years, then Thal's play is for you. Even if you don't like these things you should see how far into the play you can read. Fun stuff.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Romance is Dead

    "Half a dozen corpses. Where do I find the stamina?" <<< from the play. Romance may be dead, but hilarity is alive and well in this beyond-the-Pale messed up offering from playmaster Guyton. Reckon it's the first necrophilia comedy I've read...will it be the last?

  • Bryan Stubbles: WHOM DEATH DOTH SEEE-K, a comedy about sex, death, and shoes

    Wow! More than meets the eye in this romp through Hollywood, shoes and mortality. Definitely worth a read. Some good one-liners.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Mom's Ham

    Caught a reading of this last night in Provo, Utah. Very awesome post-modern take on Christmas with the proper homage to A Christmas Carol. Wonderful O. Henry-esque ending.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Got Change for a Two?

    '90s-era perversity vomited onstage. Contains these winners:
    "Nah, man, you don’t look at the mantle when you’re poking the fire!"
    and
    "I’m sure you’re a nice guy and all, but I’d rather fuck the bartender than talk to you, all right?"
    For fans of shows like Married...with Children.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Spades

    Lively dialogue. Always good to see a play about Wallace Thurman, a very underrated writer. Robinson's script injects life into historical characters quite well. Good work.

  • Bryan Stubbles: The Grim Raper

    Okay. "There issssssss no Springgggg Breakkk. Onnnnnly deattttthhhhhhh." is an actual line from this play. Like most of Guyton's plays, it is extremely well-written. The dialogue is indeed superb...and it is funny for like 98% of the play. But the ending will mess with you. Read it if you enjoy comedies with a horrible [yet sadly true] ending.

  • Bryan Stubbles: ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

    Here's a wild one from Alterman. Should be in a Smith & Kraus anthology. Unique twist at the end. Worth a read.
