GEORGIE GETS A FACELIFT
Written by Daniel Guyton
1M,2F. One-Act (12 min), **"In Daniel Guyton's Georgie Gets a Facelift, the blackest of black comedies, the suicide attempts of the title character (played by Joey Folsom) keep getting interrupted by the telephone and the doorbell... Guyton's delightfully perverse script is the one that you'll remember." (Lawson Taitte, 'The Dallas Morning News', 2010) **Dan Guyton’s Georgie Gets a Facelift opens with an image that shouldn’t be as funny as it is: a young man (Joey Folsom), pointing a gun into his own mouth. But thanks to Folsom’s expert delivery and Lisa Anne Haram’s hilarious performance as his all-abiding mother, this darkest-of-dark-comedies had the audience in stitches." (Will Arbery, D Magazine, 2010) ***Can suicide, serial murder and a potty-mouthed girl scout be funny? Hell yeah, as proven by Daniel Guyton's tarpit-dark comedy Georgie Gets a Facelift... The beauty lies in the writing, which is snappy, succinct and original... The opening scene in Georgie is comic gold, and the closing line... could not be more perfect." (Mark Lowry, Theatre Jones, 2010) ***This black comedy... is a tidy, tiny enterprise in delayed gratification, kind of like a Thurber short story compared to a Faulkner novel. All the language and character and thematic depth exist in both, just on a different scale... [Joey Folsom's] lengthy, surreal, tender conversation with a dead body is an acting high point for the entire Festival." (Alexandra Bonifield, Critical Rant & Rave, 2010) ***[Stephanie Hall's] physical comedy in this part – where she channels a rag doll – is hilarious. In a festival well-known for minimalist sets, this one wins the prize for the most minimalist. Ever. There is almost nothing to distract the viewer – all the attention and focus is on the three actors." (Mary L. Clark, Pegasus News, 2010) ---Finalist in the Kennedy Center/ACTF Region IV 10-Min Play Competition 2003 ---Performed at the Studio Dante Theatre in Manhattan, 2004 ---Semi-Finalist in The Riant Theatre's Strawberry One-Act Festival in Manhattan, 2005 ---Performed on Verizon Public TV, 2007 ---Published in 'Desert Road's One Acts of Note 2008', 2009 ---Published in 'The Twisted Mind of Daniel Guyton (Poetry & Plays)', 2009 ---Produced at the Shelterbelt Theatre's Shelterskelter Festival XIV in Omaha, NE, 2009 ---Published by Production Scripts as a Digital Download, 2009 ---Produced by Third Eye Theatre as part of the Grand Guignol Festival in Portland, OR, 2010 ---Produced by The Pegasus Theatre in Dallas, TX, 2010
