←Recommendations of Arm's Length Romance (A Duologue)

fast, comic and a story all of its own. I like that it is called a "duologue", such a descriptive way to tell it. Nicely written and the dialogue is excellent and elegant. A clever piece.

Comic and dramatic. Visual and verbal. Off-the-cuff-silly and thoughtful/philosophical. Breakneck banter and slow-motion tragedy. Only John Busser writes a play like "Arm's Length Romance" and I'm thankful for it. I'd love to see or direct this show in a live performance.

The wit! There is some A+ dialogue in this short 4th-wall-breaking comedy about a casual relationship (perhaps TOO casual of a relationship?) which clips along at a perfect pace. What a clever, unique delight.

Clever, intriguing, funny and smart - this short by John Busser includes his trademark dialogue paced just right. Amazingly simple premise that raises questions that all couples face concerning our true desires and our unwillingness (and inability) to communicate these. Expectations met and unmet drive to its inevitable - and yet unchanging - conclusion. A lot packed into this brilliant short. Couples will laugh together and then discuss long into the night after seeing this staged. Great work.

I suspect there are a lot of people who will read this or see it and nod think "Oh, yeah..." and then wonder if that's what their relationship is really like. The beauty of this is the spoken out loud stream of consciousness that hits home -- and the humor -- so well. Simple and deadly accurate.

Earth to Him! That’s what I want to shout through my laughter as Her tries to close the casual gap between them. As Her almost literally has to spell out her desires, Him seems to be in need of remedial signal reading. Clever. Funny. Perfect.

This is a fun back and forth that builds perfectly to its inevitable conclusion. Sharp, crisp, funny dialogue that will be a great ride for the actors and audience alike. Nice!

This short play is a dance between two casual 'lovers' who throughout keep their distance, at least physically. For as this dance plays out it's clear that 'Her' wants more, but will that just upset the casualness of their relationship?
This is clever, unique and would make a great performance piece.

A great 2 hander about intimacy, communication and asking for what you really want. Things seem perfect from a distance, but some people want/need to bridge the gap. Others are happy where they are. Great piece to show off quick paced banter! In a "casual" way, of course...

Deep. That’s what I thought – And still do! – as I started reading this brilliant play. And then, John Busser, begins weaving in his trademark wit and humor, slowly at first but ramping up quickly. Thought-provoking and very funny to boot, you can’t ask for more! Bravo!
