2M. One-Act (10 min), A nod to Samuel Beckett, and a satire of war. Two roommates await the cannon fire of an impending army.
"IN THE SHADOW OF A WAR by Daniel Guyton is a cut above. It's highly reminiscent of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, but seems to take place in some sort of dungeon in which two prisoners cower and read from a blank book, awaiting a coming war. The dialogue is opaque and repetitious, but very nicely delivered by Jerry Jobe and Bob Winstead. Julie Taliaferro's direction prevents the action from becoming static. It provokes thought, but it's the sort of piece that needs to be done to perfection to work on all levels. It's good here, but not perfection." (Playgoer, TheaterReview.com, 2013)
"A great little script by Daniel Guyton." (Jerry Jobe, Academy Theatre, 2013)
