An American folk tale about the tension to prove yourself to people and forces beyond your control, recounted by two enormously likable and rough-edged voices. It brilliantly captures the congenial nature of a bar setting – it's begging to be staged site-specifically. Two people the world has deemed dispensable proving their worth, in more ways than it seems.

What might at first appear as a mundane setting with mundane people blossoms into a high-stakes and heartfelt story rooted in the profound dignity of working-class.

The stakes for a game of bar trivia have never been so high! I got to hear a reading of this play at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre and loved every minute with these funny and flawed friends. Richie's struggle to stand up for himself in a world full of managers is especially poignant, and Marci's crush on the bartender still makes me laugh. Additionally, the Pittsburgh bar setting is so specific, and full of spot-on hilarious details. A perfect two-hander I would love to see staged.
