Although they start out rocky, Jim and Mandy manage to connect in of all places, the laundromat. Mandy proves to be a better counterpart to Jim than his fiancée, Betsy, who lives in Alaska and appears to be a bit of a gold-digger. In keeping with the locale, they both spin a few yarns, especially Mandy, but there's humor. She tells him he has "nice ears." She on the other hand was voted "Most Likely to Make All of her Own Clothes." Fun.

Andrew Martineau’s SPIN CYCLE is a lovely slice of life play that is unique, thought provoking, and incredibly engaging. I absolutely love the laundry mat setting, where we meet Jim and Mandy. While we find ourselves in the “two strangers aren’t so different after all” trope, the way Martineau layers the storytelling with clever reveals and motivations that blossoms into something real and memorable. He takes the trope and makes it his own. This is a lovely play for either stage or audio. Bravo!

A very sweet short play about two people who connect in the most mundane of circumstances. SPIN CYCLE provides a meet-cute that hits all the right notes. Andrew Martineau keeps it simple and in this case - it works to heart-warming effect. The characters are neatly drawn and their conversation feels natural. Very well done.
