What happens when you actually cross the line with your best friend?

    These young people are so real and whole that it almost feels voyeuristic to watch them struggle with their tentative escalation from friends to lovers. There is much humor mined from Ban's eager efforts to find a substitute for a condom and much that is touching about their shared history. From the startlingly physical opening beats to the tender conclusion, this play is thoroughly engaging and heartfelt.

    In ten minutes, this play will have you wholeheartedly rooting (and cringing) for these kids as they try to figure out their will-they-won't-they relationship amid a spontaneous hookup. The characters are funny and likable with impeccable chemistry. The humor never misses a beat, yet Muccia also knows how to balance it with a vulnerability that feels earned. This is a treat from start to finish.

No Casting Requirements or Restrictions - the couple is depicted as a cis-gender, straight couple, but does not need to present that way.

This piece is for two people -ideally for college age (adults playing teens) - involves kissing and swearing, like any good relationship - can be adapted out of time period mentioned, but must be approved by writer.
