    SHIP is totally wonderful - masterfully treading the knife's-edge between hilarity and tragedy. Douglas' characters are incredibly witty, but likewise incredibly rich and three-dimensional: accordingly, you're with them the whole way through, celebrating their triumphs and mourning at their mistakes. His dialogue and structure are effortless and this allows the story unfold quite naturally (when it could've been anything but). This play is a dramaturgical "tight ship". (Lame, but I couldn't resist.)

    To me the best comedies explore the personal tragedies. In SHIP by Douglas Williams you will read an elegant yet thoroughly modern comedy with some of the most realistic dialogue you'll read anywhere. Williams gives us three quirky and complex characters who take personal journeys and grow not necessarily toward vanquishing, their demons but toward a more realistic making peace with past mistakes and growing stronger and more subtle over a more radical transformation. Don't let this philosophizing fool you, though. SHIP is a really funny play that's gonna leave you in stitches.

    I love this play so much. It's hilarious, weird, heartbreaking, subtle, and completely subverts your expectations. If you're looking for a play about the dangers and heartbreaks of strange obsessions, you found the right play.
