Sometimes you read a play that isn't flashy. There are no twists or hidden reveals. Sometimes a play just says something about the human condition. Max has had an excruciating experience that has left him depressed, humiliated and wanting to cut himself off. But his sister and best friend do what sisters and best friends always do. They attempt to jumpstart Max's willingness to get out there again. It's simple, sweetly done and very, very relatable. We've all had our world-ending embarrassments. If only we could all have a Brenda and Stuart to get us through it.
