    This play is absolutely hilarious! There are several twists throughout, but the one at the end has to be the best. An honest piece about being unsure if you are making the right choice, but taking a leap of faith anyway. Lots of fun!

    A very humorous take on choosing the one and only!

    A frenetic piece that benefits from a breakneck pace and some very clever comedic repetition. There were not one but two plot twists I didn't see coming, which is impressive for a ten-minute play. And it really sticks the landing. Good fun.
