Squared (Ten Minute Play)

by Marcia Eppich-Harris

Ellie and Jonathan go on their second date to the newest, hot restaurant owned by a famous chef, only to find that their tastes are too divergent for them to continue dating. Some irreconcilable differences are more irreconcilable than others.

    Love this play. It pokes fun at the “foodies”, the elite, the awkwardness of a 2nd date, etc. Marcia has built 2 wonderfully complex characters while teasing the audience with the mystery of the restaurant. The server serves as a narrator and moderator of this date. It’s all brilliantly crafted and honestly, I’d probably try the food. Great work!

    Poking fun at food trends and the gastro-elite is so much fun with the delightful short play. The dialogue between the diners.. and the server... is sharp, witty, and perfectly absurd!

    I never could have imagined a restaurant scene involving a recycling of gourmet food and a second date causing so much distress, but this play is fresh, funny and loaded with social commentary. It made me think about the whole “farm to table” trend in a different light and consider what might be going overboard on how we consume new (or perhaps old) food while paying exorbitant prices for the experience. I give this the highest ranking—three stars!
