    What a fun play! Imaginative, funny, and totally relatable. I wanted this to go on and on...

    fun and funny - i love the way Dickens Assaf dramatizes the inner monologue and all that comes with the over-thinking factor in relationships. this would be a really enjoyable piece to see, and i'm sure (with 99.9% certainty) i would laugh out loud.

    The logic of the mind versus the chaos of the heart. This is an ultimately sweet story about saying "yes" when the possibility of love appears.

    "Inevitable" isn't cloyingly cute or syrupy, however. Bethany Dickens Assaf punctuates the story with very funny dialogue and visuals on the path to the ultimately sweet "yes": waffles, porn, cocaine, and evil presence of clueless Rob.

    This is a story many will understand, the characters' pitfalls and challenges lead to great visuals and dialogue, and the feel-good ending will make audiences smile. I hope its production history will grow even more robust.
