Funny and eye opening. In this day and age it seems that most people have a relationship with their phone, whether it be good or bad. Pipes does a fantastic job at showing what this relationship would look like if we saw it as a relationship between humans. It is done in such a fun way that we can't help but laugh while also becoming aware of how much that black box in our pocket can influence us.

Our addiction to technology takes on utterly hilarious form! Amazing!

Funny yet deep and relevant. I am not addicted to my phone, but even I can relate to this play which would be a big hit in any short play festival. With an inventive concept and great roles for the actors, it should live a long fully powered-up life!

This play is funny--it's absolutely hilarious. But more than that, it's absolutely beautiful and completely and totally brilliant. I could spend a long time trying to explain just how perfectly Pipes balances comedy and poignancy, but I'd be wasting time that you could be using to read this play. Read it and you'll see what I mean. I've never felt so much tenderness for my phone before. This is personification at its absolute finest.

This goofy play really makes you think about our dependency on technology, especially smartphones.
How is the gadget in your hand, the device that's sucking up most of your time, an extension of you? What does your relationship with technology say about you, your weaknesses, insecurities, flaws ?
This play should be a hit at any comedy festival across the country. It's ridiculous, but a little frightening because you see yourself in this play.

This play was a big hit at the 2019 Samuel French Off Off Broadway Festival. Surprising and fun, a perfect two-hander, exploring our increasing dependency on our gizmos and devices, our *relationships* - literally - with technology. Pipes' mines the set-up for all its comedic gold, and delivers a short play at-once hilarious, and kinda-sorta horrifying, when we think about the intricacies of balancing technology's role in our lives. The production I saw featured Pipes herself in the role of CEE, a character that would be a delight for any actor, with lots of opportunities for creative sound design, too.
