    Laughed my ass off while watching/reading this. I love how it starts off leaning into the characters' archetypes, then slowly peels back their veneers to reveal warmth, depth, and unity. A supremely funny, moving, and satisfying play.

    A thought-provoking short play....lots of dark humor and what-ifs. Recommend!
