    “

    A snappy, comedic tale that feels both classic and modern. Graffam makes her point in such a clever and quick manner that it's not until the final joke that it hits you exactly the way she intended. Would be a perfect addition to any ten minute play festival!

    “The Penis Play” is a hilarious and pointed ten-minute gem. Great addition to a political or any ten minute play festival. And wait for the punchline!
