A hilarious spoof on fundraising that is laugh-out-loud funny and very well done! ”

THE ASK is a hysterical opportunity for two actors with some chemistry. A realistic misunderstanding leads to an uncomfortable situation with dialogue that plays beautifully. ”

“
It's like a screwball comedy where no one has to stand up. You can practically hear Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant as the blithely insane Sally and the long-suffering deadpan Darren. A roller coaster of a play with great laughs and insight! ”
