    There's more than one way to regain possession of a thing you've lost. Sandra and Rachel are amusing portraits of bickering siblings which grow quite dark as we learn what Sandra has planted in her garden. In Something Borrowed revenge is a gift that is served cold, indeed.

    Oooh, I could sense something ominous was going on here from page one, and all I could do was sit back, enjoy the very realistic antagonistic sister banter, and wait! If it was this much morbid fun for me as a reader, I can only imagine a live audience actively squirming in their seats! As an older sister with a younger sister who loves to "borrow" from my closet, I found it both relatable and VERY satisfying... right up until that killer reversal! This is a funny, dark, very entertaining piece of theatre!

    This comedy may be dark (it is), but man is it funny! A sibling rivalry between sisters turns into a tale of revenge. And as each piece of the revenge is revealed, the story becomes shockingly more hilarious. The hatchet joke is priceless! Just a great example of John Busser doing what he does oh so well!
