Fighting Mr. Right throws a hilarious curveball at the typical boy-meets-girl story. Capturing all the awkwardness and nervous energy of a first date, Joel and Marla's evening seems destined to lead to something else and something else and something else, until Marla proposes something interesting, daunting, challenging, and unusual. The dialogue is sharp and insightful with great emotional swings. A funny and insightful reminder that relationships aren't always all the tidy bits and pieces.

I love quirky comedies, and this short is perfection! Marla and Joel have finished a successful first date, and Marla doesn't want to mess this up, so she's doing things differently with this guy - which Joel finds baffling. The dialogue in this piece is sharp and fast, and even on the page you can tell that this would be a blast both to watch and to perform.

I couldn't take my eyes off the page - This play is absolutely hilarious from start to finish! I couldn't have predicted the events of this play if I tried. The characters are complex, the story is unique, and the ending was beautiful. I can only imagine how much fun performers would have with this piece! Can't wait to read more!
