Tori Rice has what I believe to be one of the greatest strengths of a writer: she LOVES her characters. She endows them with dignity and richness, she riddles them with flaws and mistakes, she gives them respect and patience. This piece captures a small moment between two people with truth and humour. Very sweet, and sad, and two great roles for actors. This would fit in well in any night of short plays and I think would prove moving and entertaining for actors and audiences alike.

I was so lucky to have a seen a reading of this at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab! An expertly crafted two-hander full of humor and pathos. Rice has a deep and rich understanding of Setting and gives the audience an immediate connection to the world of the play. There's an incredibly strong dynamic to the characters that would entice any actors. Cannot wait to see the long life of this piece!

As a former educator, I know Tim. I've taught so many amazing Tims. A beautiful and loving Tim like this one is exactly what Leigh needed at this raw moment to find the order, reasurance, and dignity for which she was searching. The humor is well timed. The emotions are natural. The humanity is real. WONDERFUL!
