A quirky and informative ten minute that makes you think and laugh at the same times. I really enjoyed the structure of the play and the way that the characters interact with each other in a variety of surprising ways. This would definitely get audiences talking after getting to see this play, which should be a very rewarding experience indeed.

Tremendously funny. I actually woke my wife up laughing in the living room while reading this... that'll teach me to read Cern's work in the late hours of the night. :) Seriously, though, this is an extremely funny (and tense!) ten-minute that gave me mirth (packed with great bits throughout) and also some renewed reassurance about not having kids. (That second part is probably not intended, but oh well.) This ten-minute would definitely shine in any festival that chooses to have it!

Loved this! Not just "another ghost story" but something ultimately deeper. The dialogue between the characters is at times extremely witty and at times really touching. The story takes nifty twists and turns throughout our brief time with these two. This would definitely be an enjoyable 10-minute to see staged at a festival!

An interesting look at "love" and what perhaps prevents a pair from truly achieving that. There's a lot packed into this 10-minute postcoital struggle between ALAN and MIA, but everything rings true. It's a good reminder that not every relationship has a fairytale ending and that sometimes we only make partial connections. Those partial connections occasionally run up against the frustration of not truly being able to fully couple for all the obstacles in our path. This 10-minute is ultimately adult (in the best sense of the word), intriguing, and definitely worthy of a festival production.

A unique look at (fairly recent) history that takes you through the sad story from three different perspectives. On the whole, it provides a moving narrative of fate's sometimes unkind touch upon those it falls. This was a gripping tale from the beginning and would definitely be brought well to life upon a stage.

This was a definitely interesting and thrilling read! Meyer has crafted a sort of "neo noir" here that I really enjoyed. There are many fun twists and turns, and there's a dark vein of humor that offsets some of the nastier parts. But oh, those nastier parts are the fun of the plot, are they not? This would definitely be a great piece for a theater to produce!

An incredible piece of work. There's much to admire in this... the depth of the characters, the crackle of the dialogue... but to me, it's Garcia's use of poetry in many varied forms that really thrills as you read/experience it. The ending is fraught with tension and takes you on a tightwire as you wonder just how it will resolve. Through the work, Garcia deals with many contemporary (and necessary) issues, but primary amongst those, I feel, is just how we communicate with each other in this fraught age. A triumph.

This was terrific! I was able to watch Patrick's video version and got to see the play in action. Great actors for that, but they were able to bring the unique perspective and humor from Bell to life. It's off the wall but it's also a lot of fun. Great parts for actors to sink their teeth into and a fun show to put on in a variety of venues. Definitely check this out!

There are twists and turns in this short relationship play that make it quite a fascinating journey with these two characters. At first it's a reunion, then it's a touching gesture between two old friends, and then in the end it's something completely different. The trip was definitely interesting to undertake while reading this. This would definitely be a good showcase for the actors portraying the characters in this play!

A very interesting 10-minute that takes you through a process. The characters all have a role to play in that, and the different backgrounds and personality types mesh well in terms of exploring that. Then, the ending brings an unexpected resolution that changes your whole perspective on the situation. A very interesting and intriguing read!
