    “ Funny and witty! I love the nods to contemporary language around patriarchy and colonialism. Like the actors sometimes become self aware. It works so well with the style of comedy in the play. ”

    “ She's done it again! I'm always so happy when I come across Melissa Leilani Larson's work. I was fortunate enough to see a reading of this hysterical play recently and hope to see it onstage again soon! Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward would be so proud! ”

    “ Larson’s plays are always a delight. Reading them makes me want to simultaneously dive in as an actor, director, designer, and audience member. The brisk pace, bright comedy, and clever wordplay of this script would make it a welcoming addition to any theater’s programming! ”
