    This one is scary. I know one of these people and their ability to not let go of things is truly remarkable. An excellent back-and-forth between two persons or sides of one person if you want to see it that way. I bet this is absolute fun for two daring actors.

    You can almost guess where this is going, but you won't be entirely correct. Multiple questions are raised here: slavery, abuse of domestics, compassion, respect. What is humanity and does it apply to those who only resemble humans? This one will get the audience talking for sure.

    This play explains all the reasons I never reproduced. Witty, disturbing, probably more correct than I want to guess. Hilarious, as well. And a great last line!

    And how many long-term marriages exist just like this, a crossroads between hope for the future and despair for the past continuing; watching the young move on and returning home to a twosome that has no idea who the other is anymore; deciding if what's to come will somehow make up for the years spent in a a commitment once treasured but now dreaded, or if continuing as is will be any better than braving the unknown alone. A great play for a middle-aged twosome.
  • 1900s Women Bonding

    There's a lot in this that is disturbing. A moment in time, a respite (of sorts, if you can call a communion between two prisoners) from the stifling and highly repressive existences women have led caused by the careless decisions made by men to deal with what was offhandedly called "hysteria." Pretty much any evening's showstopper.
  • A Long Walk Off a Short Pier

    A very touching play that takes its time and lets the pauses say many things. It's just a stop on the way to the light; not the whole trip, but a very important part. Think kindness and friendship.

    This play is filled with a dense beauty and some questions that are easy to ask but very difficult to answer. Highly compelling and thoughtful. I would love to see this on stage sometime soon.

    This is so much fun. If you could find the right age-appropriate actors it would be a blast. Otherwise adults playing kids would be hilarious. There's a lot of hard truth buried under the humor, and for folks who've grown up in a step-family it will ring very familiar bells.
  • If Only in My Dreams (Ten Minute)
    9 May. 2020
    Life is hardest when our demons are family. Guilt, regret, lasting memories of things one wishes they've somehow done better, but probably couldn't have. Donnelly has crafted a hard episode, but a strong one with wonderful major parts for two women. Part of me wanted more, much more of their story, but on reflection, this was more than plenty. It may not be the most uplifting of shorts, but it deserves a place at seasonal festivals.
  • Why Are You Here?
    7 May. 2020
    This would be a tough play to sit and watch. So may people seeking answers as they've been told to (therapy!!!), yet so few have been encouraged to seek them for the right reasons. This is a piece that should be done in high schools and colleges; it's message is critical.
