    The wacking of fly swatters adds physical comedy to this short play about an American couple on a trip to experience the local charms of Mexico --- for a reason. Thank you, Vivian.

    Well, I'm not going to lie, I like a little good news and nothing but that brightens up Todd and Angie's dismal date in this lovely short play. The setting is wonderful as are the fly swatters, and the disconnection at the start for the characters changes over time in a very truthful way because the characters are rich. My first Lermond play and surely not my last.

    Another charmer from playwright Vivian Lermond. PEDRO'S PATIO features three, well-crafted characters who felt, to me, as if I had read much more about their lives--their backstory--than I actually read. This is because Lermond has a skill of creating characters that have full lives with backstories, a present, and the promise of a future. This play gives you all of that and it does so without forcing the characters' history on the reader/audience. That is not easy to pull off but Vivian Lermond does it with a sure hand.
