C Is For Cupid

    "Life is meant to be lived. Delightfully." YES! That is the wonderful message that John presents in this show that details the very real difficulty of keeping a relationship going during the Pandemic. The wonderfully romantic dialogue between Sal in Regina at certain points can't fail to make you go AW! This piece is another example of how John expertly portrays relationships in a beautiful, funny and tender way despite the awkward circumstances they are living in. It was so nice to read a play relating to the pandemic that made me feel happy by the end.

    I think it is lovely to read a play that explores queerness and sexuality in older women characters in such an authentic way to today's day and age.

    This is such a fabulous sequel to B is for Bullshit, I want Mabey to go through the whole alphabet! I want the sequels for each of the B is for Bullshit characters: seasons! But these are my favorite characters from B is for Bullshit (hey, I'm their age, it happens) so I am truly rooting for them. I know closets. This queer show is sure to be as important as it is entertaining, and it melts my hearts! One day we'll all watch it in person!
