    This is one of my favorite plays ever. Had the thrill of seeing a reading at the 2015 MFA Playwright's Conference in DC and fell in love with Dominic's devastatingly lovely play. I recommend it to everyone I know. The piece is lyrical, heart-warming, surprising, with excellent roles for actors of all ages.

    I had the pleasure of seeing this play produced at the Echo Theater. It's not often you see a play these days committed to sincerity and beauty and the small clockwork intricacies of human interaction, but this play delivers such a wonderful, odd, painfully true look at how people mesh with people. What's more, the play offers wonderful opportunities for a few powerhouse actors, including the vibrant role for the woman at the center.

    Romantic, weird, fun, silly - and it grapples with something important: the human need for contact in an increasingly isolating world.
