“
Hovanesian has created a character audiences will love to hate and will delight when he is smacked in his smug privilege. Strong dialog with a clever twist. ”

“
A taut, terrific one-act about privilege and power, and with a deliciously surprising plot twist. Hovanesian is expert as showing us a situation that seems ordinary but isn't, and then gradually infusing it with an increasing sense of menace until the rug is suddenly pulled out from under us. I would love to see this play on stage. ”
