I feel obligated to start with the fact that never before has a ten-minute play punched me in the gut like this. The title randomly piqued my interest on the front page of NPX, and when diving in, I was thrilled to see characters hashed out with such earnest care. I felt like I was one aisle over, like I couldn't help but stop my own shopping trip to listen in on real people touching each other's lives. Could not recommend enough.

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!
