    This is a cracker jack of a short play that builds on tension until the very end. As always, Mike does a great job with creating characters and getting right to the heart of the story in his short plays. Well crafted and great potential for a creative team.

With endless options for staging, including inventive opportunities for real in-water performances, this two-person sparring match blends comedy and drama as it explores the dysfunction that lives in all early relationships through a high-stakes situation.
