  • Bryan Stubbles: Tactile Creatures by Scott Sickles
    “

    A very sentimental and touching ghost story. Highly recommended. Sickles' ability to elicit real emotions from his characters is wonderful. Bravo!

  • Bryan Stubbles: THERAPY DOG by Scott Mullen

    Caught this at a performance last weekend in Seoul. Absolutely hilarious. Very unpredictable (in a good way) comedy. The weirder the play gets, the funnier it gets...and the audience may need therapy themselves after this.

    I watched this tonight at the Seoul Players - Minigan does a great job of revealing his characters. Ample doses of humor as well. Really enjoyed the localization of the piece. Yay for Boston-based plays!

    Matsushita is right up there with O. Henry when it comes to twist endings. Always happy to see a self-important person get their comeuppance. Recommended.

  • Bryan Stubbles: White Women by Jessie Salsbury
    “

    "We are not a savior, we are not a best friend, we are not a warrior, we are not queens, we are not a poster child. We take the ignorance thrown at us and multiply it twenty fold, giving it to people of color like a gift." Absolutely one of the most brilliant monologues I've read on NPX. This monologue needs a voice and a stage. Now.

    A harshly beautiful script. Deserves a production. Bates leaves us with a memorable ending.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Vamping by Diana Burbano
    “

    "this is a chick who destroys men with her evil gothy sexy lady-ness" - "the makeup had to be, like yellow for her face and brown for her lips. So she looked sorta high-chola." --- Absolutely one of the funniest pieces I've read on NPX. Burbano also mixes in some commentary about prejudice and how some things never change. HIGHLY recommended..."But Theda just ooozes like sex poison and destroys this stock broker."

  • Bryan Stubbles: ANNE by Adi Eshman

    Probably the bravest play I've ever read on NPX. All the themes of Frank's diary pop up and then some. Timely. Also a warning about the dangers of tying up all of one's beliefs in a symbol. Very astute writing from Eshman.

    A literal memory play...the present serves as a robust conduit to the past. Bowden's writing is on point.

    Pretty strong play. Really emphasizes the differences between those who've been in wars and those who haven't. A good read and a good play.
