  • Rich Rubin: MALHEUR

    Captivating convergence of the past, the present and the (possible) future at a rundown B&B in rural Oregon. Rachael Carnes is an absolute master at weaving the quirky everyday travails of her characters with cosmic concerns like love, loss and the meaning of life, and this play is a great example of her spellbinding storytelling magic. MALHEUR is a weird and wonderful ride, often chilling, sometimes hilarious. Highly recommended!

  • Rich Rubin: THE IMPORTANCE

    Thoroughly enjoyed reading this! So smart, so funny ... though truly chilling here and there, like real life. Absolutely pitch-perfect for a high-school cast. Brilliantly constructed satire with a big heart and a compelling, uplifting message. Very deserving of wide production. Brava!

  • Rich Rubin: You Cannot Undo This Action

    Whip-smart and thought-provoking, quite funny at first, then increasingly suspenseful and scary. If you're looking for a play with a young ensemble cast (e.g., for a high school or college production), this would be an excellent, exciting choice. Bravo!!

    An absolute gem of a play, skillfully balancing humor, tension and multiple surprises. Brilliantly constructed from start to finish, and great fun!

  • Rich Rubin: Notes (a monologue)

    Truly amazing what Lindsay Partain was able to achieve in just a single page -- a profound sense of not only a character but also a relationship. Spare and impactful, every word used for maximal effect. Simply brilliant.

    A literate, clever and fun romp, with juicy roles for men and women alike. Extremely well-crafted, with luscious, lyrical language from first page to last. Well-done!

  • Rich Rubin: Bonus

    A smartly-crafted ten-minute play with both a strong message and great comic dialogue. A total hoot, and very worthy of widespread production!
