REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS
“In Mabey’s buzzworthy script, a couple in bed banter about dreams, playfully fighting, pleasantly flirting, and poignantly facing their fears. A quick-paced comic take on the totally irrational and perfectly normal anxieties that sting us all, Bag of Bees is a bucket of laughs.”
(Ken Preuss)
“When a nightmare leaves Sam feeling a little shaken, they demand an apology from Alex, whose dream-self was the source of Sam's fear. This quirky, fast-paced, light-hearted relationship comedy explores how the people we love can drive us crazy, set us on edge, and ease our fears--sometimes simultaneously.”
(David Beardsley)

“I was smiling through this whole script. This couple is great and I love their issues along with how they deal with them. This will leave you feeling warm and squishy inside and maybe some tools with how to handle an argument in a relationship, too! The last lines got me laughing out loud. A perfect blackout moment.”
(Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn)

“Such a fun read. The play keeps you laughing from start to finish.”
(Tiana Marie)
