    “ You know when you think you and That Other Person can handle Things and be Perfectly Rational Adults and then you find out “NOPE! NOT HAPPENING!”? That’s this play. And this play is pitch perfect. What’s great is that despite being at odds, neither one of the characters seems wrong. Everyone is mad yet no one is the bad guy. We’ve all been the emotional one or the rational one and sometimes we’ve taken turns. This captures a glimpse into a relationship that’s reached critical mass and could go either way. A terrific piece! ”

    “ This is a lovely, heartbreaking short play about love. What and who are you willing to fight for? How much are you willing to sacrifice to get the attention of the person you love? An interesting spin on a breakup play; the added power dynamics, and the way those dynamics change throughout the piece, are interesting and unique. It would be an excellent addition to a short play festival. ”

    “ This play felt real... too real. In 10 pages Pittenger manages to show us a whole relationship cycle with one tense situation. A true example of what a great short piece should be. ”

    “ Super intense and intriguing piece. I love the dynamic, the imagery, and dialogue found in this dramatic situation. Also full of beautiful moments that would make it stand out in an anthology or festival. ”

    “ As a former New Yorker, I just loved this — It brought me back to the travails of those dynamics between brokers and clients and — And within that, a terrific exploration of a broken relationship. Pittenger's characters connect with place fully, their dialogue snappy and revealing. I like, too, the writer's use of stage directions. There's just something so pathetic, and believable, about sitting down next to a lonely fern in an apartment foyer. (When that happens, you kinda know your life's not going the way you wanted.) ”

    “ This piece is so New York! I am immediately engrossed in their relationship and frustrated by it and engaged. Love seeing someone's bluff being called. Well done, Laura. ”

    “ A strong emotional journey packed into a very tight and well-structured package. Really interesting (and accurate) use of NYC real estate practices as a means of articulating character. ”
