    What a delightful take on a romantic encounter. The characters and set-up are engaging and the pay off a true delight. There is a sweetness of spirit to the piece that enhances its many charms.

    Utterly, utterly charming. Short and sweet, natural and funny, and as delightful as a popsicle in summer. Odds are you’ll enjoy this one a lot.

    Some plays are confections and this is certainly one of them. Which is not to say it's insubstantial. Just because it's sweet, doesn't mean it's frothy. Hunt uses the contrast between the characters and the converging narrative structure, blending the dark and light, the creamy and the airy, to fashion a perfect chocolate mousse of a play... and it couldn't be more delicious and satisfying.

    I recommend reading this after a long day. And let it be the last thing you read at the end of that long day. It'll nourish you for a better tomorrow.
