“ Though set over Zoom and during a very specific time period, this feels like a timeless play about love, loss, aging and relevance. It's fascinating to read this in November 2021, and to relive so many of the fears and losses and anxieties of those early months of the pandemic. I'm inspired by the realistic and often very funny dialogue and the portraits of Charles and Enid who felt so incredibly real to me. ”

“ I anthropomorphize things. A lot. So this brilliant play about three Macy's Parade balloons was an instant yes, and it lived up to all my expectations. An inventive and funny take on the fleeting nature of celebrity/popularity, our increasing disregard for tradition, and the passing of the torch. Sparing and sparkling dialogue between the very distinct characters moves the action along swiftly (with some laugh-out-loud lines) but I'll remember this piece for quite a while. ”

“ Came to this via the Talking Horse Monologue contest and had to read the whole thing. Though based on found historical records, this piece also works as a kind of Russian cautinary tale. It is beautifully written with a rhythm that's almost poetic. It's infused with sadness but also great humor and depicts a woman both of her time but also timeless. I loved Valentina and hope this has many more productions. ”

“ I'm a huge fan of the 24 Hr Plays Viral Monologues series and hope to find the recording of Bits 'N Pieces because this was an exceptional read. Like the very best monologues, I thought I knew where this was going and then a word, or a line completely blindsided me. Lindsey is sweetly terrifying, what an amazing gift for an actor. Brilliantly funny, disturbing and dark with lines that I think I'll be quoting for some time. Wow, Ali. ”
