Unboxed by Briana Morgan
5.0

I can't remember the last time that I read a play, but if Briana Morgan's UNBOXED is any indication of the fun experience I have been missing then I have to rectify that! I am blown away by how great this play is and how much was told and conveyed in less than 100 pages. When we first settle in, I immediately sense some toxicity in the relationship between our two main characters, Greg and Alice. I thought, "There is no way I will end up liking this guy or thinking that Alice is smart for loving him." But Morgan totally flipped it on me and I found myself rooting for them both before the end of the play! It's great when an author can set you up with certain emotions from the beginning while knowing the end result and your potential feelings by that last page/line. Morgan did a superb job keeping my anxiety on pins and needles and I never, EVER, want to explore the dark web. There is not a single fiber in my being that has any desire to go there, even if the results we experience in UNBOXED only have a .001% chance of even happening to me. This twisted little play is fast paced, well-written, and eerily intoxicating. It is a must-read! 5 stars!
