It’s so fun to explore the idea of the world of the play, a non-descript chicken wings restaurant, as a place of “succor and safety” – a hermitage of learning, with sage denizens and philosophical teaching moments. And it's lovely that the people who are here to teach in this world, can be a teenage girl with a minimum wage food service job and a mature woman. Who are we to the exterior community? Who are we to ourselves? With its bright energy throughout and unflagging comedy, this play would be a treat to see onstage.
