What a funny, original, and poignant play. In about 30 short pages, Harris rendered Jerry and Tyler's relationship with such complexity and nuance, I felt like I'd known them for quite a bit longer--in fact, I'd love to read a full length two-hander starring these brothers. In short, potent scenes Harris elegantly establishes and follows through on each character's wants and needs, and the dramatic action is always focused on the two young men. The use of mime is an excellent extended metaphor and I loved how queerness was just a subtly drawn fact of life. Beautiful!
