    So funny and, sadly, so true. A fast paced take on sexism in Hollywood (and everywhere, really) that manages to make its laser sharp point without being didactic. No surprise it's a short play festival favorite!

    Smart, funny, totally magnetizing writing. This play has everything, said and in subtext. Simply perfect. Put this in your short play festival yesterday.
