    Charming conflict centered on the "what's done cannot be undone" fiasco. Bavoso continues to show his knack and ear for sweetheart dialogue, like the best of Robert Patrick.

    A very sweet interaction between two directly addressing the age old question of "are we there yet?" Seemingly both are all in, but it takes a bit of permanence to prove the hypothesis. This play was charming yet addressed very real feelings that couples face. John's writing immediately allows the audience member to understand the character and cheer them on. Nice work!

    What a delight. I love Bavoso's work - Invariably funny, bright and relatable - with these stakes that *immediately* draw us in. I saw a wonderful production of this short play with Theatre Three, and I was so grateful for the 10-minutes when I forgot about the pandemic. This is lovely, lush theatre, and absolutely perfect for Zoom. Get it! Produce it! A sweet, hilarious charmer.
