    This is something worth reading and a play that deserves to be heard! I feel lucky to have participated in a reading of this play during it's early stages. Even had the audience ROLLING with laughter. It is over the top in it's honesty and it's satire is incredibly on point. Ben writes what he wants to see on stage, and characters that he wants to play - which brings a refreshing specificity and humor to his work.
