A delightfully playful meta-theatre short play that keeps finding chuckles and little twists long after many other writers would have ridden/written the premise straight into the ground. The characters' halting attempts at improv are charming, and then they get up some steam and tip into hilarious melodrama. If you've ever acted in a short play and craved the agency to rewrite it, this is equal parts wish-fulfillment and cautionary tale.
