Enchanting, Clever, Thought-provoking, Absorbing, Quirky

See it if You like out of the box storytelling. The playwright/star is a personable character that keeps the story light and flowing. Charming.

Don't see it if You’re not a granola, touchy-feely type you might be bored or even worse, annoyed by some of the antics that I found clever and endearing.

Intelligent, Great writing, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if A fascinating look at the future with audience participation. Playwright & actor narrates this intriguing play of what will be.

Don't see it if A bare stage & audience is dependent on their imagination.

Refreshing, Thought-provoking, Quirky, Absorbing

See it if you like experimental one-person shows with moderate (and voluntary) audience interaction exploring both personal and universal themes

Don't see it if you prefer full plays, don't like experimental theatre, hate audience interaction, don't like performances that leave you with questions

Someone has to speak..., If you want the show 2 go on..., And when we're still around in 100 trillion years, Unhappy ending?, End of the beginning

See it if willing suspension of your disbelief & willful engagement are your strongpoints, jumping into the completely different, 4 the process

Don't see it if hate audience participation, want performer 2 do all the work, fear possibility, need specific answers 2 all your questions, have no ???s

Talkin' Broadway
May 12th, 2023

“ ‘we were promised honey!,’ while well crafted, has an air of experimental theater to it. Don't go looking for a clean plot; it's more about random glimpses into the future, one that is either mutable or predetermined. Up to you to decide.”
