Crazy eights: wonderful characters. I feel like it could’ve been a two person but I sort of liked the other person. Sweet concept. I like fucked up people. You could use this for a scene.

Baby food: So weird. Maybe liked it enough considering how short it was. Thought it relied too much on the shock of the twist

That other person: I love sissy so much. I love rachel dratch. I wanna see this performed! I wanna be in it

Be forewarned that these are VERY short one-acts. Two were actually developed as part of 10-minute play series, so they are quite short. The other is longer than 10 minutes, but I doubt it would run even 45 minutes. That said, they are all quite good. My favorite was Baby Food which I found to be a laugh a second!
