As such, it could be argued they're harder to write than a full-length offering. Hell, Shakespeare never wrote one, and he certainly never wrote it in 48 hours or incorporated three ingredients into his work-in-miniature: an unusual embrace, a moment when a list becomes the only means to communicate, and something that cannot be seen by the human eye.
The evening is a celebration of short-form storytelling and an opportunity to give eight unique voices a mighty wind, albeit in the small confines of the Hyde Park Theatre. Much of the fun of attendance is simply watching all these artists coming together to give their world-premiere works life; and though it's not a competitive sport, this showcase serves up some plays and performances that stand out from the rest in terms of creative risk-taking, cohesion, and engagement.
"P, B, and Jane," which kick-starts the second half of the showcase, is an intriguing dark comedy by Hanna that features a well-intended but inept improv troupe working the room. Their solicitation of inane prompts from the audience results in brief and startling vignettes that reveal Jane's memories of religious and sexual trauma. The seamless transitions from the comic to the tragic are handled with great skill by director Moore and actors Phillips, Carr, and De La Rosa.
