Mabey has a great way with banter in this play. Actors will have fun with the rapid-paced dialog. This short play also has a great button on the end.

I'm on a bill with this play in Ukraine (!) so I figured I'd give it a read. Fun slice of life about the push and pull of how relationships find their way, through playfulness and mutual regard.

“

A charming read with wonderful characters. Great for a night of short play performances! I love the style of humor and think a general audience would appreciate it as well.
