    A very poignant, moving, and witty 10-minute play. There are so many genuine moments between these two characters including the tragedy that binds them. There are times where you laugh and times where you are moved to tears. Beautiful piece. Very well done!

    Very true, how we come together after a loss even if we're fighting over our regrets. Perhaps we focus on those to protect ourselves from feeling the weight of the loss. But protection comes from healing which we can find in each other. Fantastic!

    They say that funerals are more for the living than they are for the dead. Hayet’s play digs in deep to themes of grief and guilt, and how they’re processed at times of significant loss. As Taylor and Kelly continually raise the stakes throughout the scene, betting on who was a better friend to Kate, (and aggrandizing their own level of suffering,) ultimately they have to show their cards. When they do, it’s no longer a contest... they both want the same thing: their friend back. A strong piece tackling a difficult subject.

    I love this play, because while for the audience this is a zany and comedic moment between two people mourning, this type of thing is totally a reality. I'm happy to read a play that talks about this part of grief. There is a great mix of emotions in this play, it's got a lot of heart in it, and it would be a fantastic addition to any night of short plays.

    A one-upmanship at a funeral - it's a thing and it's a big thing here. I love the circle of friendship that exists here. Two people who were friends with Kate and are still vying for Kate's attention - even though she's gone - just may have made a new friend. Maybe. It's funny, it bites and later there's honey for the wound. This is a quirky and delightful addition to any ten-minute play festival.

    "The way you talk, it’s like you’ve been planning Kate’s death since high school in some cracked out Ocean’s
    Eleven long con!" Truth dwells in this play's hyperbole. This play hit a bit of a personal note for me - way back in high school a kid I knew died and the other students did what these two characters do here: outfriend one another. Hayet has written a poignant, funny play with a touching ending. I'm surprised it hasn't been produced yet. Extremely recommended.
