  • Robin Rice: Camel Girl by Debra A. Cole
    “

    I've wondered all my life why people feel they have permission to judge other people. In CAMEL GIRL, Debra A. Cole takes this question to an extreme - makes a point in short order, and makes it very well. Is the girl a freak or the victim of malformation at birth? No matter what category others put her in, she seizes the reins of her own life and is determined to journey on a path she chooses for herself. Victory!

    This short play is packed with personality and food-for-thought about parenting trends in recent decades. Very contemporary. And nice reversal!

    Hysterical!! The most glowing thing I can say about a play is that I wish I had written it - and I certainly do in this case. Unlike most wacky plays, this one is eminently stage-worthy and should be performed at the end of every single play festival.

  • Robin Rice: Intestate: A COVID-19 Monologue by Donald E. Baker
    “

    The most devastating monologue can be one that doesn't mess around with flowery descriptions or peripheral sentiments. Baker's speaker tells us what happened directly, and it pierces your heart. Things we know about Covid, about those who deny it, and about those who deny gay people equal rights - all of this and more is here, but brought home in such a personal way it might even change some minds.

  • Robin Rice: Survivors Club by Arthur M Jolly
    “

    As the world experiences PTSD from its struggle with Covid, Arthur Jolly puts a magnifying glass to four people who experienced a singular, mutual trauma as children - and how it affected each of them. Which makes "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" ever so current - and ever so funny!

    Ten pages that are packed with humanity, honest feelings, reversals and revelations. Not a forced moment. Not once does the playwright interrupt and lecture us or tell us what we should feel. I saw this play in a Zoom presentation and it worked beautifully, start to finish.

    Levine builds up the tension, then laughs at us - er, laughs at his characters. I have a feeling there's going to be more in store for this high-strung couple though...

  • Robin Rice: MY PARADISE ISLAND by Jack Levine
    “

    Funny how an over-the-top couple with only their mutual desires registering on their self-centered brains can be loveable at the same time. I love this "paradise" where anything can happen. (It would make a great audio play.)
