    A smart, highly theatrical and frequently hilarious take on gender, dating and the search for love. Chock full of insight and wit, if it doesn't remind you of your own life it will definitely remind you of someone you know.

    An incredibly clever and sharply observed play about relationships in the 21st century with dialogue that is witty, quick, and natural. This play-- written with characters that can be played by actors of any gender-- is the ultimate playground for a director, as the casting changes the context of each line. It's a delightful, thoughtful, funny and subtilely thought-provoking play.
