Loved this one act... right up my alley when it comes to sci-fi goodness. Definitely a modern "Twilight Zone" scenario that is well written by Fields and poses a very interesting moral dilemma to be considered when it comes to this situation. No easy answers here, and one wonders if we'll be making ethical decisions like this in the very near or far-off future. This was a great science fiction one act that would definitely be great to see on stage.

My sheer admiration for what Perry accomplishes here in 7 brief pages. We are indeed still treated to a very full adventure, and we are able to feel much for all parties involved. How far are we willing to go to achieve our "dreams"? And what happens when those dreams perhaps darken due to the events of life? This play explores those questions very well and left me very much affected by the answers that were suggested. This was a very enjoyable read indeed.

A very interesting and affecting piece. Life and death are examined, but there is no saccharine sentimentality. Instead, there is an unexpected "reality" of where we might find ourselves in life and what might happen in the afterlife. And yet, the resolution of the piece does surprisingly maintain some semblance of hope. The interplay between the four characters in this play - two living, one not, and one about to cross between those planes - is involving and well developed to allow us empathy for all involved. Verisimilitude mixed with the slightly fantastical makes for a well written ten minute.

Sometimes it's good to be kept in the dark. Such is the experience with "A Little Lamb," as we're privy to a conversation that at first seems relegated to obscurity. As it unfolds, however, more is revealed and yet, perhaps, more is obscured. We're left to draw our own conclusions about just what is going on, which is quite thrilling. The play probes, explores, feints, and parries as it twists its way through the labyrinth that seems to be self created. Or is it? Draw your own conclusions as you read and experience this intriguing one act.

A sweet, warm, and funny piece that's very appropriate for senior actors and will be charming to those who get to view them acting the scene. Very enjoyable!

Great little mystery/horror piece here. Great twists, some gruesomeness here and there, and a fast pace that definitely keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat. This would definitely be great to see staged (for those who have a strong stomach, I suppose) or even adapted in audio form. Definitely scratched my horror play itch for tonight's reading, I can tell you that.

I absolutely loved this adaptation that David has created here. It's kind of amazing to read a fresh take on this story that's been done so many times, but here we go. The world building is just great. The emphasis on female characters is refreshing and a unique new twist to this old story. The pacing is excellent... I often found myself on the edge of my seat even though I do indeed know the original story very well. An audio drama that is going to thrill audiences when they get to hear it!

I love the dark morality play that we have here. Chloe and David are indeed a lovable and engaging couple until they're plunged into a nightmare beyond their control. The exploration of just what one would do to get their "dreams" back is intriguing, compelling, and yes, a bit terrifying. Once we hit the "danger point," this definitely keeps you on the edge of your seats in terms of what's going to happen next. Great stuff!

Wow, what an intense reworking of Poe's original work with a contemporary angle and edge that just fits it to a tee. Read it and listened to the audio version on The Ugly Radio (which was an excellent performance!) and just admired it so much. Loved Hall's successful retelling of a classic tale and finding a new way to haunt people with it. Excellent!

A really fascinating sci-fi rumination here, with shades of Ellison, Vonnegut, and even perhaps Woody Allen's "Sleeper" thrown in to good effect. The premise certainly allows for some deep philosophical and even theological examination as to just what it means to be human. Ultimately, that is what the best science fiction can do, and Byham has created an excellent example of science fiction here. What's surprising is the warmth and love that we're able to get from the described situation... no easy task. I was totally engaged by this story and would love to see it staged at some point.
