After the Day I've Had, Death Would be a Blessing is an absolute riot. The mix of sharp, snappy dialogue and unexpected twists made it such an enjoyable read. The characters are quirky and lovable—even if one of them happens to be a serial killer—leading to some hilarious and tense moments.

Quite fun piece. Two likeable characters (yes, one is a serial killer, I'm aware of that) unexpectedly having a very different evening than either had expected. Well-paced, comedic turnabouts and lots of fun for two exuberant actors!
