Deb Meyer

"Deb Meyer has written a play that follows the traditional thriller route but with a modern spin — think 'Dial M for Murder' but with a woman as the conspirator. The dynamics within the play is ever-changing, bound to keep audiences invested up to the well-rounded finale."

"This was a definitely interesting and thrilling read! Meyer has crafted a sort of 'neo noir' here that I really enjoyed. There are many fun twists and turns, and there's a dark vein of humor that offsets some of the nastier parts. This would definitely be a great piece for a theater to produce!"

"Brilliantly witty dialogue is littered throughout this fabulous piece! Coupled with the great characters and the brutally harsh moments makes this play a brilliant piece of comedy/drama. It is wonderfully crafted and will make a brilliant piece to see on a stage."

"Dastardly Devon is one of those plays that takes a well-known fairytale and asks you to look at it from a different perspective. In a play featuring the three little pigs and the 'big bad wolf' that is about bullying, you assume the wolf is going to learn the error of his ways. But no — it's you (and all the 'good' characters) who must learn the harm that comes from ostracizing another based on assumptions and perceived differences. A great way for kids to ask the same question of themselves."

"What a delight! Set in the Scottish Highlands with a pair of spritely Bryndals, this charming fairytale will have you smiling from start to finish. I couldn't help reading this with my best (which is terrible) Scottish accent. I'm delighted to see that this play will have a production next year. It's deserving of many more."

"For any fairytale fans, this play is a delight to read. A brilliant mix of fairytale twists, loveable characters, and perspectives on enabling versus growth in relationships. It offers plenty of fun for directors, actors, and audience as the story unfolds!"

"In a world dominated by glossy magazines and glamourous social media pictures telling young women how they NEED to look to be attractive, it's such a charming change of pace to meet a friend like Nikki. The conversation these two girls find themselves in is very relatable and very real. It's a glorious celebration of being just the way you are, and would be a great piece for young people to see."

"Deb Meyer has taken the inner thoughts of many women and given it comic life for the stage. Nikki is just the friend Ashley needs. The lively banter between these two will be a treat for actresses."

"Fun and poetic, this short play is also about the many insecurities women often feel, and trying to live up to celebrity hype proves to not always be the best idea. Their friendship is so very real as they debate the celebrity magazines."
