3-PACK DAVID TALBORT'S PLAYS

This was an execllent buy at an unbeliveable cost. The plays are thought invoking and fun to watch all while dealing with real life issues. A joy to watch alone or with others, a sure crowd pleaser, especially the Fabric of a Man with the fine Darrin Dewitt Henson, a lovely sight! June 24, 2008

David E. Talbert Plays

The plays were ok- "Fabric of a Man" being the best of the 3. It was funny, and had some really good points. "Love on Lay Away" was decent- kinda didn't follow it: one man moves into the building and it helps the guys already around to get their acts together before they loose their girlfriends (?). "He Say, She Say" was basically about the church taking back the neighborhood, praising God anyhow. However, the way the church was represented in this play, (the new pastor getting romantically involved with a member, I mean, OPENLY flirting in the sanctuary, and making out on a dark corner after a date), this was unacceptable. I know church people are people too, but all of us DO NOT conduct ourselves in such a manner. All of the plays had a vauge reference to God, but the way the characters conducted themselves, I dont see why God was referenceed @ all. The behavior was outrageous. Over all, I am slightly amused, unimpressed, and a little offended. I will not be looking for any more plays by this play-write. May 5, 2008
