    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.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Happy Birthday, L.A.

    Interesting take on a couple of lost souls in the City of Angels preparing to welcome a third. Very sympathetic and three-dimensional characterization.

  • Bryan Stubbles: The Amazing Adventures of Not Batman

    Most plays about writers suck. They exist as self-consolation. This is the absolute opposite: a rollicking, fun play featuring the forces acting on Karen as she grows as a writer. Great fun and great work!

  • Bryan Stubbles: The Salmon (10 Minute Play)

    Gently funny comedy. Rumberger packs a lot of power, emotion, story and humor using whittled dialogue. Deserves more than a reading, that's for sure.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Pigtails and Bobby Socks

    Have you ever read a play where your initial thought was "What the Hell did I just read?" - this is that play. Recommended for those who want something different. You may just get what you want.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Hate Baby

    It's spatulas and babies in this humorous piece. Worth a read.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Skylla & Kharybdis

    "I like you...like gravity. You pull me in.
    Like tides.
    Like waves."
    Stark and intense drama right here. Kelly's sparse dialogue is breathtaking.

  • Bryan Stubbles: A Merry Cougar Christmas

    If the idea of a septegenarian gal who cruises the Mongolian BBQ Palace for young 'uns appeals to you, then Mr. Guyton has written that play. "Hey if there's grass on the field, Ethel, I'm playing ball." Good work. Funny.
