    A wonderful comedy where two characters grow through each other in the best way. Well done!

    Such a warm and delightful comic play - I love the characters and their personal struggles and how these struggles organically arrive to change the course of things. I also thought Caroline was really funny even though she's not what Guy might think of as funny. The humor is there but in an unexpected way. And the deep reasons for it all make it that much more worthwhile. Great work!

    In every situation in life, you're either the student or the teacher. And even when you're the teacher, you're the student. These two have a lot to learn from each other. As we see that process beginning, we are left wanting for more. A delightful, romantic relationship has begun in a most unusual way.

    Funny and sweet and incredibly well written. Cotter is excellent at creating vibrant characters right from page one, and RULES OF COMEDY is not exception. It's no wonder this play was selected by the Humana Festival. Highly recommend reading and producing!

    This is the unlikeliest romantic comedy. The opening grabs you and you think you know where you're going. When you don't go there, you assume something else and finally you stop assuming because these characters are unpredictable. They're human, funny/not funny, angst-ridden and well-meaning. Just a beautifully written two-hander. I'd love to meet Caroline and Guy again.

    This is impeccably written comedy; the play may seem deceptively unassuming in its modest scope and Aristotelian unities, but the rhythms and pacing of the dialogue are expertly deployed with ruthless precision. Two great roles offer actors the welcome combination of great laugh lines and unexpected depths.
