Mute Me Baby, One More Time

    A winning time capsule of the early days on shelter-in-place. I enjoyed the indeterminacy of the piece - yes, it's a horribly awkward "date," but never irredeemably so, and both participants end it in a state of limbo about the future- which makes for a fine microcosm of COVID as a whole. A sound, endearing and funny entry into the Zoom play genre.

    McClain pretty much sums up dating in the digitally mandated, self-distancing world in which we’re currently living, and she does it with hilariously sad accuracy. One feels for both of these tech-challenged people, and fervently hopes they’ll have a second, more propitious chance to make their incipient relationship bloom. A wonderful Zoom play with wonderful roles.

    A wonderful relevant comedy. I love how Emily McClain takes the concept of an awkward first date and transitions it to a Zoom format. A lot of fun from beginning to end. Great job!
