  • John Kelly: THE NEIGHBOR

    A tale based upon real life... Tony (and his unseen spouse, Susan) are new to New York City and meet one of their neighbors.... a woman who's obviously one of the city's most colorful inhabitants. She brash, bold, foul mouthed... and intriguing. A woman of the 70s. This engaging two-hander offers fine roles for the actors playing Tony and Delia. Recommended.

  • John Kelly: Spit

    A most enjoyable comic two-hander about love, marriage, and expectations. The first two of the three are wonderful. The third - expectations - can prove to be a bit tricky, as Rachel and Howard, on the eve of their engagement party, discover. This short provides two fine roles for comic actors. Recommended.
