“ Spoken by a hurricane, this is such a great monologue! Esmeralda revels in her power, which is both wonderful (she sweeps us along with her, verbally and emotionally) and scary--as it should be. Thrumming beneath her words is the destruction, present and to come, caused by climate change. Powerful. ”

“ I had the pleasure of seeing a production of this ten-minute two-hander that riffs, hilariously, on a major moment in the history of telecommunications while also poking fun at our contemporary smartphone obsession. Great for audiences of all ages. ”

“ I love Arianna Rose's plays and this monologue is so powerful, visceral and truthful. I love the brilliant and poetic conjunction of watching fireworks--all that light and noise, the here-and-then-gone of it all--with a character in deep mourning for someone they've only recently lost. Beautiful. ”

“ Wonderfully dark and very funny short play about some familiar fairy-tale characters having a group-therapy session that goes horribly wrong. I laughed out loud at many of the lines and the surprising things the characters say (and do!). I'd love to see it on stage! ”
