    I had the pleasure of seeing this play read and the audience was laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes. A hilarious romp in the woods!

    It seems like everything goes wrong for this newly-engaged couple lost in the forest park, but this play proves sometimes you have get lost and figure out the best path together. I enjoyed how the playwright highlighted directly after the proposal the kinds of arguments/disagreements that this couple could expect several years into their marriage. Like her play My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, Lolly Ward uses a clever story concept with an unusual stage setting to address the challenges of sustaining romantic relationships.
