    This is a timely play with brilliantly constructed characters that create tons of opportunities for actors of all backgrounds. My favorite line, "We only say so many words in our lifetime, you know?". Every moment and word in this play continues to surprise you. Highly recommend.

    Sharp as a knife and blisteringly funny, Michael Tricca posits a seriously funny scenario which is so fitting for this time and place in America today. Like throwing a bag of fireworks on a dumpster fire, the result is chaotically funny and fun as hell to look at. This play made me laugh out loud a number of times in the reading. I can only imagine how much an audience would howl at seeing it performed.

    When we open with two terrorists giddily discussing their hijacking plan like a couple of children staying up far too late at a slumber party...you know you're in for some dark, dark, dark, and hilarious theatre. Tricca has crafted this play with such delicacy and care that the satire works just perfectly and is wrapped up in a way guaranteed to make any audience laugh at the pure ridiculousness of the whole situation.
