    “ I love the fact that, just like real people do, the conversation here about upset stomachs and overindulging on booze is not really what these two are conversing about. We all hide our intentions at times, and this is both clear (to us) and unclear (to them). Debbie Lamedman captures the tone of such conversations perfectly, making the ordinary into something a little EXTRA-ordinary. Terrific writing. ”

    “ What is so wonderful about this little gem of a piece from Debbie Lamedman is the sheer ordinariness of the conversation - but it is also such a perfectly pitched piece of observation; this is how married couples talk to each other. Add to that the amusing bi-play between Rita and Fred and you get a cracking little play. ”

    “ Reading this, I was reminded of my mom and dad and my dad who would always eat the wrong things and sometimes it would put him our of commission for days and my mom was always, you know better. I think it's natural as humans to always want to push boundaries even if we know they will end up hurting us or making us feel bad. Rita and Fred seem like the everyman and everywoman of couples, but that makes their fight all the more believable and one that you are completely caught up in till the end. ”

    “ Great fun! A fast-paced comedy with a satisfying and hysterical ending. Great fun to watch and perhaps even more fun to perform by the right couple. Lucile Ball and Desi Arnaz kind of clever silliness. Bravo! ”

    “ I adore couples that know each other's secrets. DEBBIE LAMEDMAN has created a delightful back and forth between the characters of Rita and Fred. We all know Rita. We all know Fred. Now we just have to discover if it is the bread or the cheese causing the issues. LOVELY! ”

    “ Ha ha ha ha HA! This one-act is the story of my life and I am still laughing even though I closed it minutes ago. What a highly enjoyable ride through relationship strife. 100% believable and so entertaining. ”

    “ A fun two-hander about the ill-effects of toxic foods and relationships. And how we negotiate both. The characters in this play know each other so well, they almost don't need to speak -- but we care glad they do! ”

    “ This writer definitely has a gift for creating piece about relationships. The characters of Rita and Fred are two very lively and funny characters who invite the audience in for a priviate viewing of (apparently one of many) one of their domestics. It a brilliantly written, fast pace and wonderfully witty piece! ”

    “ A great surburban party two-hander with its push-me-pull-you dialogue and maybe even a grumbling, rumbling bodily third character. Funny and truthful, this is a tale of middle age spread and flirtation. Age and what the body can tolerate may loom large but a wife is still determined to enjoy innocent pleasures. A quirky character piece where both husband and wife have their failings and sillinesses and hotel-like pinching of goodies may be taken to extremes, but we grow to care for them as much as they care for each other. ”
