    Rachel Feeny-Williams has a wonderful and quick mind. This short piece is a delight with captivating dialogue, unique characters and a one of a kind story. Emily Post would be delighted! Brava!

  • James Binz: Secrets, Sex and Over 60 by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    Such terrific comic work! The unique setting highlighted lots of potential and the farcical madcap fun rolled over the stage like a tidal wave. Feeny-Williams masterful handling of the many twists, turns and mis-understandings brought the farce to its perfect conclusion. Very Brit and BBC One. The dialogue is rich and tight and the story follows with excellent "what happens next" moments. Very well written!

  • James Binz: Milk and Gall by Mathilde Dratwa

    Mathilde captures the paranoia of the moment for many people in the USA. Not just a political diatribe, she has fashioned a wonderful story with layers of complexities and nuance. The characters are natural and surreal , the dialogue is (as usual for Dratwa) spot on. And the story is important and entertaining and thought provoking all at the same time. This is a very realistic slice of life for the aftermath of the 2016 election. Brava!

  • James Binz: THE FOOL: ONE ACT by Jonny Bolduc

    My first Bolduc piece - a fascinating short with Shakespearean overtones. Jester's make for wonderful philosophers and the theme here is old as time. Good dialogue and surreal actions help lift the story to a new height. Nice.

    Certainly a tight and challenging 10 minutes. Interesting twist in the middle that I didn't expect, and the contrast was almost taken to the absurd. A nice little vignette slice of life in our world. Thank you!

    Wow. I remember helping to choose just the right song for the father/daughter dance at my daughter's wedding and this captured a lot of the thought and struggle. They eventually came to a perfect choice. Nice story.

    Nifty little dark comedy. Crisp dialogue and good action for a two hander. The widow is a surprise and I loved the mystery twist in the end. Brava
