Meeting your ex with your new husband near by? Better have Cassidy's powers of editing! Very fun. ”

“
This play's structure - its conceit- made me think about how my consciousness works just like Cassidy's. Read the play, and you may identify with her. The playwright wonderfully theatricalizes Cassidy's thought-process; it becomes a hilarious spectacle. If I was producing an evening of funny plays, this play would certainly be one of them. Bravo. ”
