    This was lovely, so funny and bittersweet and unique. I love the idea of someone getting paid to deliver in-person messages (or rants) to people in the neighborhood, it's so charming and weird. And the idea of having chemistry is masterfully woven throughout the play. This script is special.

    So effortlessly sweet, and yet reveals a surprising amount of depth by the end without losing its charm. There's something refreshing about watching a conversation between two strangers build and build and build until it's asking meaningful questions about romance, physical affection, and yes, science.

    I learned a lot from this script. About people, love and chemistry. I greatly enjoyed the short amount of time I got to spend with Thad and Jo-Jo.
