    Enjoyed the play very much, especially these lines: Man 2: Who do you want to play you?; Man 1: My doctor says I have low T. Man 2: I never eat on an empty stomach. Thoughtful and entertaining. Did remind me of Waiting for Godot. Other positive aspects: can be played by any male cast, small cast appealing to a theater. Simple set. Can understand why it's been produced. Great work, Morey.

    This is such a great fun and snappy play. Two strangers waiting for what will never happen. They are zippy characters that play well off each other. There is so much to love about this short script, and would be a wonderful crowd pleaser no matter where it would be performed. Love it.

    I just love how surprising and funny this (as in laugh-out-loud funny) as well as relatable--who hasn't experienced the frustration and boredom of waiting on line? Morkin does a fantastic job mining that situation for its absurdism while presenting two very human characters meeting for the first time and hoping that whatever it is they're waiting for will actually occur. So much fun!
