    The fact is 'sex sells' and "FreePlay" is show that could prove that true! Justice Hehir takes four fabulous character, sprinkles them with brilliantly witty and thought provoking dialogue and places them smack in the middle of the sex industry. Its a perfect cocktail that creates a wonderfully funny piece. Produce this play and you won't be disappointed! The sales from merchandise of "ask me about orgasms" shirts would make this play a hit on thier own. Couple that with the brilliant writing and you can't go wrong.

    I adore this play. FreePlay is painstakingly patient in its use of language and the way its plot unfolds, and it works so well because Hehir has given us four believable and idiosyncratic characters to fall in love with. The play also manages to find ways of speaking directly to contemporary issues without ever feeling forced or didactic. It also does something notable: it lets dildos be hilarious, while still taking them seriously and letting them be empowering objects. Funny as fuh and heartbreaking too, FreePlay is a quiet, endearing gem.

    A perfectly modulated, subtle portrait of three women in an unusual field. The characters are wonderfully specific and the line-by-line dialogue is authentic and engaging. It is evocative of Annie Baker's work in its focus on small moments and on the minutiae of interpersonal relationships. A play that sneaks up on you, slowly but surely drawing you in until you are wholly invested in these four lonely souls.

    If you're not in love with this play by the time Emma the intern gives a Facetime tour of the office to her parents late at night, there's probably something wrong with you. Hehir explores the mundane everyday-ness of working at a sex toy company. Some audience members may cringe at the setting, but Hehir totally embraces the cringe and runs with it and it's RIVETING and hilarious and heartfelt and heartbreaking and wonderful and beautiful and REAL. Just a lovely play from beginning to end, with so many quiet, awkward, lovely moments along the way.
