Themed Month begins! 

In "Mini Month Part 2" Jackson and Jacob return to the short play form, looking at four plays that run less than a traditional "full length" would. In the first two episodes, J&J discuss 10 minute plays. First up, perhaps the most famous 10 minute play of all time: "Sure Thing" by David Ives.

At the quarter mark of Season 10, Jackson and Jacob discuss a riotous, unique piece of storytelling theatre about the wild world of pro wrestling. Kristoffer Diaz's play "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity" is hilarious and pointed, making a strong case for pro wrestling as entrancing populist theatre - and reflecting on the potential dangers of the form.
