I'm old and therefore don't have all the confidence when using this phrase, but I think this play personifies "meet cute". The twist of one man's blindness personifying the other's different type of blindness is so well handled that the script just flows like a beautiful scent on the breeze.

I love that this play takes us into a familiar set-up and then adds an element that not only turns the situation on its ear, but becomes an engine of storytelling. Depending upon how an actor plays it, Jason's false starts could be played for laughs or pathos, until the reveal of his blindness. Some great laugh-out-loud lines in here too. My favorite: "I'm not a...bloodhound or whatever."

The opening exchange about cologne and what various scents represent to different communities really draws us into this awkward first meeting, especially when we recognize the importance of smell to Jason, as well as Robby’s cluelessness about Jason’s blindness. Every line in this excerpt is multi-layered and reveals subtext, and yet the dialogue is appropriately light and conversational. I really want to read, or better yet, see the full-length version now.
