“Siren Call” reviews
My play “Siren Call” has been such a joy to work on and I am beyond grateful and amazed by the wonderful reviews:
“ENTERTAINING. Witty, referential, sexy, and scary”
“Cora is quite a savant thinker as well as a natural playwright, and in âSiren Call,â this is in full display!”
“The story was very engaging and had me in deep thought throughout from beginning to end while also making me laugh.”
“A thought provoking performance. One that had me riveted. The play was beautifully acted by all performers.”
“Each characterâs flawed nature was both intense and humorous at times, and effectively took us on a journey of âHaHaHaâ, âWowâ, and âNo Way!â”
“I havenât stopped thinking about the images I saw and the issues the play explored!”
“How come a familiar story is so well told and is atmospheric, mysterious, funny, sexy, and symbolic at the same time? A dense and seductive short play about our dreams, illusions, failures, obsessions, and so much more!”
“Fascinating black-mirror ish look at Hollywood and the desire for success.”
“Packs a punch of emotion for the length of time the show is.”
“It really hit home if you are living and attempting to pay the bills as an artist.”
“A mysterious, poetic and thought-provoking piece with themes that will permeate and connect with many in the audience. Well-acted and performed the cast creates a world and a dialect unique to the wonderful script and world created by Jola Cora. It is a play that will leave you thinking long after you have left the theater.”
“Siren Call is an intriguing piece that I did not want to end. Sprinkled with unexpected humor and mystery. From the start the fine score sets the tone.”
“Itâs a contained blast of a show thatâs both funny and truly mesmerizing.”
“The play is mysterious psychological thriller that is an interesting chess match of wits and bad choices.”
“An enjoyable cautionary tale with some very clever points to make about ambition and reality in modern Hollywood.”
“An eerie tale that interlaces the ideas of the unity of the universe that keeps you on your toes the whole time.”

DJ Ass Maggots’s wonderful review of “Siren Call”
WHOâS YOUR FAVORITE CELEBRITY?!
Iâm here live at the Fringe Festival in Hollywood. Just saw the 30-minute play âSiren Callâ by Jola Cora.
So, this dysfunctional romantic couple breaks into the home of a famous celebrity and takes her hostage. I wonât spoil it for you, but I can say that this quick play is ENTERTAINING. Witty, referential, sexy, and scary, this minimalist three-person critique of the idea of celebrity challenges our incessant worship of movie stars. (Donât act like you donât have a favorite!)
As an audience, we hung on every line, like a sit-com. And the actors were so close we could touch them. In fact, I feel like I might have been an accomplice to a crime.
And they have an after party right after the show! Iâm still recoveringâŚ
The Swiss-Italian-Polish playwright-actor-director-filmmaker-Renaissance woman Jola Cora (or Jla Cra, as she is known by her squad) has honed her skills from previous cerebral works now down to the plebes like us, so that we may also enjoy, with quick jokes and edgy plot twists, while the erudite intelligentsia can still debate Sharon Tate, Sisyphus, and post-modern socio-economonic constructs.
âWe used to worship the stars in the sky, now we worship the stars on the sidewalk.â

Siren Call at the Hollywood Fringe Festival
Siren Call is a short play version of a feature film script I started writing years ago. I am now producing a stage version of it for the Hollywood Fringe Festival as a showcase for a full version and a feature film.
âThe siren call is driving me to my end, like a ship to wreck on rocksâ.
Two frustrated actors accidentally kidnap their favorite movie star⌠or is it really her? What is identity in a world where myths are stronger than we dare think?
We open June 7
