Linda L. Rand
18 minute comedy
1 man, 1 woman
A chance reunion after a funeral sets the stage for unfinished business between two people who once circled each other and never quite connected. In a single room, their conversation moves between memory, honesty, and the things neither of them said when it mattered.
A pair of goldfish becomes an unexpectedly clever mirror, nudging the characters toward risks they avoided decades earlier. The dialogue crackles with wit, honesty, and just enough edge to keep sentimentality in check. It’s an intimate, actor-driven piece that lets performers dig into timing, chemistry, and the complicated art of finally getting it right.
Performed in an evening of short plays, the audience loved “Benny and Pearl Loving in a Goldfish Bowl” more than all the other shows, every night. It’s a slice of life that everyone can relate to! — M. B. Pape
