LEN – 45

REVIEWS

.We like to be the hero of out own story, don’t we? Len does as he tries to tell us (or is it himself) in this marvelous monologue by Paul Smith. He doesn’t do that sort of thing anymore. He’s better now. It’s all a mistake. These are the things we tell ourselves when confronted with our own failings, and Len is no different. Which makes this piece both horrible (at the possible crime) and relatable (we all try to justify, don’t we?) at the same time. First-class writing Paul!’ – John Busser on New Play Exchange

‘CELL-DOUBT is another brilliant piece from Smith’s collection of his CELL monologue series. We are treated to get inside the psyche of the mentally disturbed Len and share his erratic ride through his stream-of-conscious delivery. Thoroughly engaging writing and a gift to any actor! ‘ – Vivian Lermond on New Play Exchange

‘A tense, riveting and heartbreaking monologue. Len captures the audience’s sympathy right away and holds it right to the end, which is perfectly ambiguous. This would make for compelling drama either over Zoom or in person.’ – Adam Richter on New Play Exchange

‘A short compelling drama that can work either in person or on Zoom. Riveting dialogue and engaging premise. Paul Smith delivers! Well done!’ – Ryan Kaminski on New Play Exchange
