    I love the use of clowns and lazzi, allegory, comedy. So much is said so smartly in this incredible satire

    This play moves at a frenetic clip, using comedy as a cover for the deep complications of North American relations. Stark visuals and truly funny discourse about Ray Romano sitcoms make for an entertaining read!

    A revealing play for our time at relations between those of two countries and what it means to be neighbors today. Well done.
