  • Kyle R. Thomas: End of the Rope

    An intense, mystical play that explores both the excitement and fear of facing that one thing that only appears in your dreams. I would love to see this performed, and I imagine audiences are surprised to discover at the end that Grace has been alone on stage all along.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: Blue

    A tremendous, elliptical piece that explores the 'truths' we tell ourselves and how families protect themselves. Felt much longer than 10 minutes. Really works as a short piece. Could also be extrapolated out to great effect. Recommend.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: Black Balloons

    Wow. An audience should be warned to unsettle into their seats for this one. This piece is very intriguing and mysterious. The word I keep coming back to is unsettling, and I mean that as a compliment.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: The Extraction

    'Will I experience pain?' So opens this excellent short piece. But it's a different kind of pain altogether. This play is an examination of the consequences of decisions we make in haste. The essence of tragedy is the point of no return, the moment from which there is no going back. This play begins in the immediate aftermath of that moment. Excellent.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: YOURS EVER - THE RISE OF ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER

    A delightful excerpt with thoroughly rich characters. It's very stylized and sexy and has so much suppressed desire. This has the makings of a grand, epic play. I would love to see/read the rest of it!

  • Kyle R. Thomas: Shot Girl

    They say the most interesting time to meet a character is when they are under threat. Shot Girl is a fascinating exploration of powerlessness, and what happens when a woman decides to stick all 10 toes in the ground and take some agency in her own life.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: RAVINE (a 5-minute radio drama)

    Wow. I need to read it again because I think I forgot to breathe the first time. This radio play is filled with such tenderness and love. And also tremendous fear. It may be dubbed a 'short play,' but whole lives are changed in its pages.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: Teaching a Lesson

    A chilling exploration of subjective truth. Frightening at times, the lengths to which people will go when they have absolute certainty in their convictions. Would love to see this performed.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: Echoes of Ireland

    A beautiful collection of interwoven monologues across time, which prove that we can embrace our past or live with regret, but it's coming along for the ride either way. 'In the space of a boat ride I had lost one family and gained another.' These monologues are weighted and fearless as they tackle pride and dignity and shame and love.

  • Kyle R. Thomas: The Niceties

    Electrifying. Subverts expectations again and again. I felt myself short of breath while reading at several junctures. This play needs to be more widely known. Period.
