    A hilarious piece about the hands to which our political fate resides. Well done.

    I love this play, and still think about the wonderful production of it I saw at Oregon Contemporary Theatre last year. "Jeff" and "Bud" say everything in their dialogue and in the lingering subtext underneath the funny. Danley's penchant for snappy language, with a strong, driving forward movement, is here in full splendor. I can say with authority that the stage direction, "They all boogie down" is the permission we need right now. Read, consider, produce this play.

    What a clever take on the power of music! So much of this tight play depends on rhythm and sound. It's a pleasure to read and I can only imagine how fun it would be to watch. I also like all the dichotomies in here: stagnation/movement, frustration/acceptance, empty/full, rich/poor...so many more!
