    A hilarious piece for any theatre goer or maker as it just goes right through that fourth wall and takes us into the process. Fantastic!

    Um, some of the funniest frickin' lines I've ever read. This piece is so dope because it captures the enthusiasm and joy that every writer has when they think they've just thought up the next stellar play of the century. I'm not ashamed to admit I've been the playwright in this play only a few hundred thousand times every waking moment.. I think the moral of the play (both in writing and in life) is we all need Audience member 3 and their final line. :)

    Audiences will laugh during the madcap start of this short comedy and the playwright character's writing process. But tables turn and -- while still respecting all the rules she has created for this world -- Hageman, indeed, delves into something profound: that playwrights want to affect the audience, playwrights want to be understood and there is an audience for everyone's work. Very theatrical, very funny, very empathetic.
