There is such a sense of play in this script, which is notable because it's a vehicle for mature actors! The characters have a phenomenal, natural rapport that tells us so much about the longevity of their relationship. The action of the play is waiting, and the events of the play are utterly mundane, yet we care about these specific, flawed, lovable individuals from the start. The humor is the star, but there are so many surprisingly poetic lines throughout. Plus, this play is a 4D experience! As the play progresses, the theatricality in this brilliant doubling plot sings. Lovely!

An enormously clever and vibrant tour de force, packed with Stoppardian wordplay and cosmic rhythms.
What an absolute treat for director and actors! Funny, profound and completely unique!

What fun! Four senior actors alternating primary and secondary roles based on a chance flip of the coin. Rachael Carnes nails the conversation between a couple of seniors; it moves along at a good pace, at times endearing, at times playfully silly, and at times whimsically erratic, as when one or the other naturally and seamlessly steps in and out of dialogue with their partner to engage in what is basically a stream of consciousness monologue. The roles will be engaging for senior actors and prove ultimately satisfying for the audience, as well.

Four actors take turns playing an older couple in this funny and innovative love story about forbearance and patience. By making the casting of each scene into a game of chance, Rachael Carnes takes us into a new, off-balance world where we can’t predict what role we’ll be called on to play. A lovely piece of work all around. Produce this play!

An amazing play that, for younger people such as myself, is like a sneak-peek into the world of those older than us. Paired with a fantastic directorial concept built into the script, this is a play I would love to see on the stage.

I thought this play was so outstanding, both in terms of the dialogue, the character development and the tremendous imagination it took. I would love to see a production of this because of the interchangeability of the actors. Frances and Dana were so well-defined, both of them quirky but not in the same way. Rachael's vision is really extraordinary.

A beautiful, even at times breathtaking play that will certainly help to move us toward more empathy not only toward older people which is so necessary these days, but also toward more empathy for all kinds of romantic pairings! Such a fabulous concept and so well written!

A smart and clever play that is a director's dream. Guaranteed to keep the audience thinking and listening and watching.

Love seeing roles for more mature folks, especially a comedy with so much physical comedy. I am super intrigued by the idea of having them both doubled and leaving things to chance. There is a very interesting metaphor in there. There is an incredible amount of depth between the characters and be done fairly simply, which is a wonderful combination.

The way the dynamic is set up, you could watch this play night after night and see something wholly unique and always alive, and the dialog works on so many levels
