Warning: genius writing and quirky plot ahead! Carnes takes the 10-minute play writing prompt "there's a bomb in the room and you have ten minutes to diffuse it or escape the explosion" to a whole new level. Who ever thought you could unleash such fury on an ex, let alone, buy such weapons of revenge on the internet? A fun romp into the bizarre zone.

While I loved the play's dark (and slightly gross!) humor, I also resonated with the undercurrent of desperation in Marty's dissuasion and repair attempts, and Cheryl's need for someone to just sit in her emotions with her for a while (as opposed to 'solving' them!). This is a straightforward and smart depiction of a friendship, as well as a twisty (and again - gross!) revenge story. Carnes ends with what is essentially a grounding exercise, reminding us all that insecurities and griefs may abound but good things - and good friends! - persist.

Cheryl has gone off the deep end in this frantic revenge tale, hilariously told at a breakneck pace. She wants her ex to suffer and has gone out of her way to use some very unorthodox methods to make him squirm. Hysterical and rollicking dialogue throughout, this comedic tour-de-force has a really great role for an actress to sink her teeth into. Really fun! Thumbs up!

When someone veers inexorably down an irrational path, there is little that a reasonable person can do to stop them. Rachael Carnes has written a darkly funny revenge play about the desperate lengths to which people will go to get back at those who have wronged them.
This play is — ahem — itching to be produced.

Ewww. Don't ever cross Cheryl. Don't ever date Cheryl. This deadpan comedy of unhinged vengeance is a dark delight.

A hilarious, frantic, and telling two-hander, built around a preposterous revenge fantasy. The exchanges are great and I could see this being a ton of fun for both actors, to say nothing of the audience.

A strange and wonderful piece of comedy, relentless in its pacing. The jokes land consistently, like a musical beat. Love the concept, the conversation, and both characters' denial at each twist and turn. This is a fun one!

I had the pleasure of seeing a Zoom reading of this and it was simply hilarious! Such a great time and obviously a lot of fun for the actors. Read and produce it for a well-needed break from the bad news of the day!

A very funny play with a bad breakup that many will relate to. Marvelously engaging and well done.

Who knew a clear vial containing a few specks could generate such entertaining theater? Carnes has a remarkable talent for developing rich, memorable characters in the span of only a few pages. The writing in this play is by turns hilarious, suspenseful and touching.
