    This is a heartbreaking depiction of human stupidity. Or is it genuine cruelty? In either case, a woman's effort to save a struggling pigeon is undone by her heedless male companion. Surprisingly moving for so short a play.

    Oh no! This one minute play reminds me of the HELP song from "Free to be You and Me." The man thinks he's "helping" but instead he's just "crushing it" so to speak. Not in a good way. Funny and sad in the same moment.

    This is such a unique twist on the play! It’s poetic, deceptively simple, yet wonderful.
