    I saw a Zoom reading of this play and was impressed, first that it's an inter-generational play in which the relationship is not the usual quasi-parent-child one, but simply that of two adults of different ages and life experiences. That's rare by itself, but the skillfulness and delicacy of the dialogue make it even more so. It's the sort of play that you want to read after you see it, and are well rewarded for doing so. The image of the murmur of the wind in the loose windows being the sound of the house dreaming will stay with me.

    A brilliant meditation on how history often tells us more about the historian than the past. All that and laugh-out-loud funny.

    A moving and powerful reinterpretation of the famous photograph and what it means.

    A very funny play ... right up until it's not. Powerful and troubling and one that stays with you.

    A comedy for anyone who has ever overthought a relationship or a situation only to realize that they haven't even scratched the surface and life is just a step into the void. So funny and one that stays with you.

    The story of a cockroach and its fatal attraction, told through interpretive dance and beat poetry and all in five minutes. Wonderfully weird!

    A wonderful piece, savagely funny sometimes, deeply disturging at others. I suspect it is one that will stay with me long after I have read it.

    Wickedly clever, with great dialogue and a never-saw-that-coming twist at the end for a terrific payoff.
  • Bartleby & Bess (5-10 minute play)

    A wonderfully quirky love story told from the perspective of a man who would prefer so many things not be as they are, but who discovers his soulmate has been revealed by the smallest of things and then claims her love with the the smallest of gestures. Elegant.

    Who knew a play with a plot driven by municipal budget cuts could be so much fun? So witty, so much fun.
