 Here is what critics are saying:

Stage Raw: "Top Ten! Recommended!"

“Michel’s staging balances the humor and pathos with equal panache and her cast does not equivocate. Beyer and Thompson hold our sympathy as the angst-ridden couple, and they deliver Duncombe’s machine-gun dialogue with skill and flamboyance.”

StageScene LA: "WOW!"

“Impressively acted by a skin-revealing cast of four….Amazing…a hoot!”

On Stage Los Angeles:

“Take about a pound of Pirandello and a pinch of Beckett, add zest of Zen blend hot Existential angst, shake well, toss in a gorgeous [girl in a] teeny weeny string bikini [and] we have Lift Off!”

The World Through Night Tinted Glasses:

“Who ever heard of an existentialist rom com?....This is a fun idea. More though, it is a funny show….both broad and subtle….Genuinely delightful as well as silly (and painfully true).”

Accessibly Live Off-Line:

“A fast paced comical drama…leaning toward a lot of life’s questions that hold no answers. And that’s the best part!”

A Dilettante:

“Where is happiness found if not on a beach? It is that irony that is the center-piece to the theatrical excitement and excellently florid script of Beach People….which sings in the laughable absurdity of being inundated in such a technologically complex world whereby no one has any idea of how any of it all works.”

Now Playing: "Beach People" by Charles A. Duncombe

Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the waves, feel the sun on your skin, have a pina colada, smell the coconut oil.

A couple baking happily on the sand seem to have found paradise until their life is turned upside down by a beautiful girl in bikini who has a thing for fruit salad and eastern philosophy.

And what about the handsome waiter in a speedo?

This is how a day at the beach turns into existential panic. Two floundering people struggle to figure it all out—literally—in this new comedy about love, sex, and the meaning of life by award-winning playwright Charles A. Duncombe.
