  • James McLindon: THAT THING YOU DO WITH YOUR TONGUE

    What a fun dollop of absurd humor, made all the more enjoyable by its spot-on characterizations of a cat and a dog on a date. This unique comedy deserves a lot of productions.

  • James McLindon: Broker's Holiday

    A wonderful concept executed with a triumph of dialogue, Broker's Holiday is also a wicked satire and a whole lot of fun. Read it and produce it.

  • James McLindon: What's Inside The Eiffel Tower Coffee Mug

    This play is as wonderful as it is weird, and the fact that I can't really say why is part of what makes it so wonderful. It's perhaps the saddest comedy I've ever read, and yet quite funny, but also profoundly hopeful, too, about the possibility of healing after profound grief. Brilliant.

  • James McLindon: The Decapitation of Thomas Kent

    As witty as it is enjoyable, this play introduces Thomas Kent, a delightful invention of a character, engaged in a rather one-sided battle of wits with his prison guard, and proves once again that that the tongue is mightier than the sword. Hope this one sees a lot of productions.

  • James McLindon: The Prodigal Cow (a ten minute play)

    A great short comedy starts with a great premise and this has that in spades. Enjoy!

  • James McLindon: On Queue

    On Queue is a wonderful piece of absurdist comedy that is laugh-out-loud funny on the page, and probably even better in performance. Hope it gets a lot of them!

  • James McLindon: Pre-War

    A delicate, beautiful play that slowly unfolds as two women, separated by background and age, learn how much they have in common, and how they can help each other.

  • James McLindon: Flew

    This taut, slow-burner of a play will keep you riveted until its last moments as the two characters slowly reveal their secrets to us and each other. It instantly creates an unmistakable sense of place as well. Highly recommended.

  • James McLindon: Can You Hear Me Now?

    In this comedy, Alexander Graham Bell invents the first phone (sort of) and then so much more. A witty look at how history might have gone much differently had Watson been a little more assertive.
