The nagging grief that trails the loss of a parent plays out in a raw, vulnerable dialogue that emerges from two characters who seem to be the opposite of those characteristics. I think many fathers and sons would identify and remember this play for years.

The heart of this short play is so warm and beautiful. The way these kids handle the grief and anxiety of a sick sibling is very honest. I just love the dialogue and joy that wraps this little family together. The excellent use of the Narrator playing off the audience as much as the characters is very well done.

This excellent take on the Ripper murders excels in dialogue, lyrics and incredible stage direction. I especially loved the seemingly chaotic jumble of activity in scenes that show the bustle of London, but are also carefully crafted moments that drive the play forward. A must read and, when it is undoubtedly produced, a must watch (more than once!)

This play makes me think about the thousands of brief interactions I've had with people in similar situations. The playwright pulls the questions you would never ask a stranger, but have thought about doing just that, and plays them out to a touching and endearing conclusion. This would be an intriguing short play to see performed.

If you're a white, male American reading this play you will find moments of discomfort. I encourage you to sit in those feelings. This play calls out so much about our society's approach to immigrants and "others" in such a short few pages. There's humor, but each joke has a combo punch right behind with another revealing observation of our society. Kudos to Gill for such a powerful piece.

Absolutely fantastic horror short. I want to see this performed quite badly. It's darkly funny with golden lines like "He didn’t want to know what it was. Curiosity could go kill some other damn cat. He just wanted to run."

Highly recommend this excellent piece.

Very well written, funny and creative. All three roles would be a blast for any actor to play. Would love to see this in person to let the jokes hit even harder when performed. Excellent short play!

I love how David ignores ALL the red flags, and there are plenty, just for the chance to 'lay with' Mary. Born Again Love is a funny exploration of the paradox of humanity and piousness with a sprinkle of torture to help the plot along.

The Ladies' takes an awkward situation, makes it more awkward, then somehow brings it back to acceptance through a clever mix of logic, humor and emotional pleas.

An incredibly fresh look at one of the most troubling Bible stories. I've never considered the aftermath of this story. The fear and doubt, both within Isaac and Abraham. All the time a quiet God watches the suffering. A very powerful monologue that would be incredible to see performed.
