This is a play about overcoming expectations. What I loved most about this was the switching of the gender stereotypes. In so many plays of this type, the woman is shy and demure, the man aggressive but bumbling. In this case, that trope is flipped on its head, and the result couldn't be more charming. I also liked that both characters take an active part in continuing the relationship rather than make this about one pursuing the retreating other. Both characters are willing to take the chance and are stronger for it. A winner.
