This play rushes all over you like popped bubbly. What a treat! Funny as hell, as well as searing in its take on the class system--those with and those without who end up cleaning the spilled coffees one after another. I am definitely a Flynn fan after this gem of a play!

A great reflection of working a retail or similar job. Well done.

This was not what I expected at all. I love this play's handling of classism (and the frustrations that come out of that) through repetition. Would definitely love to see this play produced and I think it would be a lot of fun for actors to play with.

A great read and a piece clearly written for its medium. Flynn uses repetition as change. A live performer can't perform the same moment multiple times without some difference and Flynn leans into this theatricality, allowing a punch we know happened to instead fall in its final repetition. Danielle's explanations of the context read so human and true. I identified so strongly with the whole 'I know I SHOULDn't feel this way, but it's not that bad, and hey you know I'm kind of right actually, but also I knoooow it's kinda wrong' aesthetic.

An examination of class struggle, parenthood, and frustration with the small passive-aggressive aggressive/smug actions that build up to a reaction that has far-reaching consequences. Danielle becomes an everyperson frustrated by the excesses of the rich and explains herself as though attempting to absolve, while still unable to leave the moment of her act of rage. Patrick Flynn creates a convincing portrait of the cyclical nature of the guilt and excuses used to justify acts of aggression. We are left wondering who Danielle is trying to convince of her innocence; us or herself? What a fascinating, if disquieting, play.
