What an absorbing play. Using a claustrophobic locked-down Capitol hill office as a backdrop, Kissinger creates a piece that is part comedy, part thriller, and part reflection on American governance and the limits of youthful idealism. And sandwiched in between the many great punchlines, she even manages the difficult job of humanizing people who besiege their elected representatives with nonstop bitter commentary. I was sad to miss this relentlessly entertaining piece at the Valdez Theatre Conference and am glad it's here on NPX.

I saw this piece at Valdez Theatre Conference and was deeply moved by the subject matter, characters, and important questions it poses about how to be human politically chaotic times. The humor that Nina Kissinger has infused into the dialogue is intoxicating and makes me unusually happy as an audience member to be stuck in a room with these characters for almost an entire play! I cannot WAIT to see this as a full production.

This play expertly intertwines politics, comedy, friendship, and more. The characters are strong and believable, and the plot is intriguing. Nina Kissinger has written a piece that is both funny and insightful.
