    Our theater group had the pleasure and privelege of performing this play recently. It is terrifically sharp and funny and has some surprising poignancy as well. The main characters play off each other well, and the relationship between them is totally believable. Some great quips about the entertainment industry as well, not surprising considering Ken's backgroundin writing for TV. Highly recommend this for consideration for your theater group as well... it's great!

    I love this play. Ken Levine is a fantastic writer: the characters, the jokes, the transitions and revelations, it's all there. This script needs to be produced more.

    This play is charming and offers two amazing roles for older actors (which, as Susan points out in the play, are few and far between for women as they age.) It was a quick, enjoyable read, and I'm sure this play goes over great with an audience.
