HA! It's not until you read this brilliant, fast paced play, that you realize just how spot on the title is! This short play is so funny, audiences will buy into each well fleshed out (pun fully intended) character and will surely be laughing throughout.
So very funny!

Given the title of the Countess of Crawley, one could not help reading this deliciously naughty monologue with Dame Maggie Smith in mind and indeed, in such circumstances, one must consume brandy in order to cope with the tragedies war brings us.
Being British myself, of no noble stock I do state, I am often amused at our American cousins take on our Britishness and 'stiff-upper-lip'-idness, it gives me great please to say Robert has got this spot on. Marvelous!

To prove I read the notes before this play began, I read the entire monologue as from the perspective of a highly intelligent Elephant.
You need to read this for it to make sense, or not, read it regardless.
I too have not met Matthew Weaver, or Daniel Prillaman, but I'm aware of the awe they hold other playwrights.
Read this monologue to understand just what the hell I'm talking about.... read it anyway, 'ti's very good!

I love to read a play which holds so much mystery, yet we never quite know what's going on. Daniel nails it here in his patient/doctor scene.
Patient slowly loses their patience with the nurse and doctor, who, as is often the case, are happy to discuss the 'condition' amongst themselves but not with the patient.
The tension builds and builds until the perfect, creepy, ending!

In a second, our lives can change irrevocably. And in just one short minute, Neil gives us a sucker-punch of a play.

I love to read Lindsay's work, there is always so much depth of character, the protagonist here in this short monologue is no exception.
Although set against some sort of Zombie apocalypse, this monologue delivers far more in a subtly funny, yet desperately sad way.
What would you do for love? Take a bite knowing the consequences?
Great!

The first words that come to mind after reading this fun short play are 'If Only!'
Three brilliantly named Mafia Dons hold the same level of authority as my own mother, for I would not cross any of them. This Italian town must be a pleasure to live in so long as you mind your P's and Q's.
But what makes this play especially clever is how politely menacing these three dons are, any visitor to this town be aware, don't end up like Tate.
Brilliant!

There is so much raw emotion in this stunning monologue, from enjoying the silence of the forest to a full blown rant as the protagonist mourns the loss of her lover.
This is one of those short plays which draw you in right from the beginning, you feel yourself in the trees and in her mind.
Very moving, poetic, excellent.

What a stunning short two hander this is, I'm reduced to tears. War can tear a family apart, but what if the family was never close before the war came between them.
Alaina has written a very moving piece here on the fractured relationship between father and son, where fame and fortune have also driven them apart.
Also, the author's note is one of the best I've read and should be taken seriously by any group producing this play.
This play will provide 2 actors with a wealth of emotion to portray.
So sad, so beautiful.

Oh my word, I'm destroyed! This is such a BEAUTIFUL monologue!
The love these two guys have for their adopted daughter is immeasurable, read it and weep, happy tears of course!

Bravo Mr Vaughan!
