    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.

    I find myself becoming by jealous of people imaginations. To take a concept as well warn as the play-within-a-play motif and spin it into something wholly new and original, with such life and energy, that I am honored to even be in its presence. This is what we have here, a one-two (and three-four-five-six...) punch of jokes that i barely had time to catch my breath - WHILE READING IT. I cannot begin to imagine the joy and fun that this would be produced. Bravo, Sir, well done!
