    Patrick takes an UNFORTUNATELY REAL/ALREADY KIND OF ABSURD issue and makes it so much more absurd and very, very funny. I've been thinking about Tyler shoving Mallory over to get to the bathroom first and the dramatic ending since I saw it. I'd love to see the different ways one could stage piss flowing out of a bathroom.

    This remarkable play explores gender roommate imbalance through a urine crisis. The liquidy crux of HE MISSES is more thought about than talked about - but once brought out into the open - the debate is provocative and messier or more complicated than one might think. Is it a psychological pissing on one's turf that Patrick Vermillon is exploring? Decide for yourself how far to take it. An astute mixture of realism sans bathroom carpets and absurdism, this fine work - it's easy to visualize - would spark various animated audience talkbacks wherever it plays.
