    A really nice play with some excellent dialogue. Both parts are very well-rounded and have moments of pathos and comedy. There's a lot for an audience to enjoy and the payoff at the end is a classic!

    Oh my word. Insanely funny. I love the pace of this raring dialogue - great rhythm and punch all the way. It's a normalish setup - work environment - but that's where absurdism reigns supreme! Allen mines a zany situation for every pearl, and I can only imagine that onstage, this one would be a barn burner. Delightful!

    Full disclosure I co-run a theatre company with this chap and have produced this short.
    This play is a fantastic comedy that actors can have fun with and explores the notion of a joke gone wrong and the professional consequences. Lots of humour and very clever.
