A champagne rom-com for our times. The play delivers sparkles and sparks. In the olden days, we had Much Ado. Later there was Philadelphia Story. Now, Henry has delivered us a tale with lightening-speed wit, honesty, and hearts that break, mend, and search.

This winning romantic dramedy succeeds by being so resolutely salty: like a 21st-century Beatrice and Benedick, our main characters enter every conversation with tongues keenly sharpened, plotting against each other in revenge for past wrongs. But Jordan Elizabeth Henry then pulls a neat trick — rather than leaning into fireworks and gamesmanship, she builds scenes of easy, natural, keen-edged dialogue across this friend group that display sharp wits, yes, but also deeply caring hearts. The sweetness creeps up on you here amid the salt, making it all the more effective at earning its just-right ending. A pleasure.

A really sweet rom-com play that also dives deep into some darkness about what humans will do for validation and personal justice.

Such a delightfully funny, zippy, and heartfelt work. We hardly ever see this genre on stage, and Jordan's approach to it is thoughtful and quietly revolutionary. I quickly fell in love with these characters, no questions needed! I think this would be perfect for college students to perform :) What a lovely play, and what a lovely playwright!

Such an excellent read. Clever, fun and smart with well drawn characters, this play really shines. A terrific piece of writing. Bravo!
