    This is a whip-smart, rattler-fast comedy that demands your attention. I have been working my way through the "37 Origami Bees" oeuvre, and I'm so glad I chose this one today. A 10-minute break from reality and sanity to revel in a pop culture lightning round of pure caffeinated bliss.

    John just wants to listen to a specific song. What could possibly go wrong? John Busser pens a darkly comic, witty, and satirical play that highlights humanity's dependence on technology, but mainly the absurdity that governs our lives.

    A delightful (and disturbing) comedic spiral as a man grapples with technology. The decision to drive past simple confusion and give the "Hal" of the play the ability to lie, critique, and banter is what gives this piece its creative distinction.
