    I had the pleasure of seeing a production of this 10 minute play at the Actors Theatre Playhouse in NH this weekend. At first you think it is about two good old boys and then it turns 180 degrees and we learn about a stranger who appears and followed by the revelation of what Bill has gone through. He is able to unburden his past while helping the strange woman find her feet.

    In a chance encounter between two strangers, this humanistic narrative shows the best of folx perhaps where we least expect it. With plenty of warm, pleasant surprises, Worrell shows us that perhaps the worst dangers lie not beyond literal warning signs, but with the inner demons we refuse to confront.
