In a matter of minutes, the president finds himself on the other side of the law when the yard chores turn hilariously criminal.

    “ Wow! Hazel is definitely a do-it-yourself kind of gal! Whether it’s gardening or… other things you normally would call a professional in for! I don’t want to give too much away, so just go ahead and dig in! ”

    “ I adore this short play. Plenty of humor, witty dialogue and physical comedy for actors to play with. Beyond that it dances along the macabre of true crime that I love to peer over. Gotta go turn the compost bin now after this delightful read. ”
