    Always partial to animorphic candy, I loved this play. It certainly earned its spot in the Smith & Kraus anthology. The comedy comes fast and furious. The play never lets up. Wish it could continue...

    Fun portrait of naive Yanks in France - who play to the stereotypical extremes...one hates all things French apprently and one is totally in love with France and a certain Matisse. Mild-mannered comedy with a good punchline. Worth a read.

    An interesting and enjoyable read. Very heartfelt. In-depth characterization. Interesting use of the mother's memory and repeating the same lines to different effect. Highly recommended.

    Pretty nutty entertainment here. If you want a screwball comedy on speed, here ya go. Wild stuff.
  • TWENTYNINE PALMS - monologue for a girl in trouble on the eve of her sixteenth birthday
    24 Nov. 2017
    Worthy encapsulation of emotion, trauma and genealogy in one tough little monologue. Highly recommended. I'm not familiar with the source material, but enjoyed the monologue quite a bit.

    Wonderfully pleasant and humorous. Barrett does a good job of mixing history and humor. Love the location and time. Recommended as a comedy or for anyone interested in history or a good female role. Happy I read it.
  • Arguing With Toasters

    I read an earlier draft (I think) of this and it was absolutely one of the funniest things I've ever read whilst making poignant observations about our society. I usually don't recommend work that already has a recommend, but this deserves it.

    I caught this in Seoul a couple of weekends ago. What a sickeningly hilarious (or is it "hilariously sick"?) play this is. But, alas, the cannibalism-while-alive, while enjoyable and oddly satisfying, isn't what the play is REALLY about. Yes, there are topics more serious (and funnier) than cannibalism and this play whacks it out of the park. So glad I saw it.

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

    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.
