    You'll LOVE this play! It's fun, clever, and even a bit romantic. You'll never look at a dishwasher the same. We all think of our machines and devices as things that merely serve us- without any emotion or interaction. Jennifer O'Grady creatively humanises the dishwasher in the play and a whole world of human-machine interactions open up. Clever, touching and a LOT of fun. ENJOY!

    A quirky and fun show! I would love to see how an actor brings the character of "Dishwasher" to life, I feel like that would make it even more enjoyable.

    A really funny and engaging comedy surrounding an engaging premise and fun characters. Multiple laugh out loud lines and really simple to do in terms of staging. Would be great for 10 minute play festivals!
