    A sly and very funny meditation on the contortions of contemporary femininity. Excellent dialogue and a thrilling, original premise.

    So wisely and breathtakingly theatrical HOT BLOOD SUNDAE does best only what writing for the stage can do. And it goes beyond that too. Aly Kantor writes stunningly natural and intimate dialogue between two complimentary and complementary women, Jess and Bex. Their talk makes you feel like the luckiest voyeur under the moon. The plot arc and time constraint are so thrillingly subtle because the friendship is so deep. Love the line “Wet dream meets nightmare.” And the howling starts at the perfect time. Here's a play that digs into what it means to be human.
