A clever and self-aware comedic play that satirizes the chaos of the creative process. By breaking the fourth wall and weaving in layers of meta-theatrical commentary, this piece critiques not only the stereotypical tropes of romantic melodrama, but also the disorganized, often contradictory nature of early drafts in playwriting. This script is a treasure for any theater looking to embrace comedy with intelligence and heart, though the International Whaling Commission may disagree.

Busser is definitely an “old hand” at what he might politely call (as I’ve heard him call it other things) “mindless mickey-ing” around! Don’t change a thing—even the stage directions: it’s the law and, thankfully, Busser’s are as hysterical as the dialogue.

What writer can’t relate to the chaos of multiple drafts? I got sucked in right away. Super clever and great laugh-out-loud fun.
