    You always get something extra in plays from Marj O'Neill-Butler. In this case you get an extra character. Not content to have a meet-cute between a man and a woman on a park bench, she has a pair of men (in this case, brothers) meet the woman on said bench. The words fly fast. So fast, in fact, that the men tend to complete each other's thoughts. It's delightful and lends some flair to the proceedings. These three look like they will be very good for each other in the long run. Maybe a revisit is in order sometime soon.

    A woman out for a walk shares a bench with two men, brothers with variations on the same name who complete each others' sentences but subtly compete for her attention. The threeway date (Chinese? Thai?) promised at the end sounds like a setup for the next play in a cycle, which I'd be curious to read.

    Snappy, sharp dialogue and a jewel of a play with wonderful subtext and lots of opportunity for physical comedy! A joy to read! I'd love to see a live performance!
