    An utterly charming look at the most awkward seven minutes of ninth grade. A subjec that in other hands could have become trite is instead a very funny study of two very idiosyncratic characters.

    A very funny piece about those seven minutes in the closet where the awkwardness makes you want to do anything else than what you're expected to. Well done.

    I came upon this short play while browsing for a competition piece for an upcoming theatre festival. Needless to say it had me giggling and so excited! Carabatsos has a genuine understanding of natural text. The content brings the reader back to those days of sexual tension and awkward conversations from their youth. Beautiful piece of comedy.
