    I found myself slowly crossing my legs as I read this. Holy cow, this was both funny as hell and cringe-inducing at the same time. I loved that hapless Tony was trying so hard to please his wife in a way that, frankly, gives me the heebie-jeebies to contemplate doing. The character of Claire holds her own quite well. A hilarious start to my day courtesy of Brandon Urrutia. And I'm going to be walking funny for the rest of that day.

    HA! It's not until you read this brilliant, fast paced play, that you realize just how spot on the title is! This short play is so funny, audiences will buy into each well fleshed out (pun fully intended) character and will surely be laughing throughout.
    So very funny!

    Urrutia's sharp dialogue is as pitch-perfect as ever. It leads us, like Claire, into a most unexpected (but well-meant? innocent? WHY?) request. I suppose stranger things have happened at Claire's, but should they? Or is that the spirit of it all in the end? Kind of romantic, but still illegal.

    Also! Ow.

    I feel different now.
