Matthew Weaver pens a play about loss, loss of a beloved creature that triggers loss of purpose, loss of part of identity. The fact that Jim does not admit that everything will be ok, affirms that certain losses are always carried. Tender and honest!

I read it, I laughed, and I have to admit I felt a bit jealous for a while, but then I felt glad that you have built such a wonderful community! And that meta-theatrical play is the proof of it.

Matthew Weaver delivers a dark and delicate play about memory -that terrifying and protective filter-. How alone we are and in what microcosm each of us lives, I keep wondering. Thank you, Matthew!

What initially seems like a love story turns into a political work, a black satire, and a sharp commentary on how the blind acceptance of ideology -without critical thought, without self-reflection, without an open window to the wider world- gives rise to violence, absurdity, and polarization. Subversive, beautiful, and darkly ironic.

This play evokes the spirit of Ionesco. The characters speak to each other without being able to communicate. The appropriate Use of English fails. What lies beneath is never contained in their words. Jack Levine satirizes language itself, revealing the characters' loneliness, the limits and vagueness of language, and inviting the reader/audience to wonder: Can communication ever truly be achieved?

Scott Sickles rewrites and reinterprets the myth of the Minotaur with sensitivity and insight blending mythology with existential themes, ethics, symbolism. So, who is his Minotaur? His monstrous image is deconstructed and what is exposed is his inner world -a human world of suffering and loneliness. "The Unjust Sound" is the constant reminder of the injustice he endures. It's a meaningful, philosophical, poetic piece with powerful messages.

Amazing work with strong lyrical moments. I loved the symbolism of the elephant. The unuttered is so silently yet so solidly constructed on stage. The grief changes shape, but as the elephant remains present.A powerful and notable play.

Minimal absurd theatre about the power of words, the uncritical faith in language, and the shaping of consciousness through language! I loved the way absurdity first appears and grows gradually larger and larger. Highly recommended!

The first reading of the play is also its first imagined staging. As I read it, I saw grief being structured before me. Thalassa (that is the Greek word for sea), while initially connected with grief, finally provides a place for rebirth. Existentialism, poetry, and symbolism on stage. Highly recommended!

Three people are confronted with loss, death, and birth in a waiting room. However, when they interact, these are no longer separate, distinct experiences. Their stories intertwine and form the circle of life, the circle of endless transformation. The stage directions, at the end of the play, condense the end and the beginning of human life into the same moment.
