    This play washes over you like a waterfall or a landslide or an avalanche. There is so much too much. Overload. Exclamation points. It’s hard to write a coming-of-age sex comedy that feels new and urgent and necessary, but this play runs at it at 100mph. The stand-out moment, though, shifts away from the noisy anxiety and toward the discomfort of a friendship that has been left to die on the vine. It's painfully real and, I hazard to guess, will have many readers looking inwards.
