    Erb captures the awkward seductive relationship between Hollywood Royalty and respectful fan. In brief we see how those in celebrated glory seek companionship from devoted strangers.

    What a wonderful read. I liked the basis in reality, and the characterizations. This could be a wonderful piece for competitions, or to pair with a few other shows for a night of one acts. It has two great parts for actors to sink their teeth into, and a very simple set. I'd love to see this staged.
