    “ What a sweet and endearing play. I love meetcutes and this was one of the most sincere and honest meetcutes I've had the pleasure of reading. It felt very grounded and real...yet the aura of love surrounding these two felt so grand, as if they've loved in past lives. Take a read and let your heart smile :). ”

    “ An adorable ten-minute that pokes fun at the couple troupes found in Chekhov's work. Both characters in CHEKHOV'S DATE are so well drawn and earnest, and there's a ton of comedy to mine from Rose's well written dialogue. ”
