It's easy to fall in love with the characters and situation in this wonderful play. Howard has a knack for exploring the complexities of friendship and relationships through specific and clever dialogue. The Hemingway and Fitzgerald scenes inspire so many laugh out loud giggles, and you'll just love going on Jack and Dexter's road trip...and you'll especially love where it ends. Such an adventure-must be staged immediately!

What a great ride! What I love about this play is that Howard weaves the present and the past so masterfully -- and, in fact, present and past colliding both metaphorically and dramatically. Jack and Dexter (in France for Dexter's wedding) embark on a road trip inspired by Fitzgerald and Hemingway -- Jack, in the hopes of securing some long lost Hemingway manuscripts, Dexter, to ensure his friends safety and sanity. The themes of loss, of legacy, of identity are rich and resonant.

Reports of the English major's demise have been greatly exaggerated! This is a play for all the scarf-donning, cafe sipping, cheap red drinkers. Howard's use of Hemingway and Fitzgerald to frame a contemporary friendship between two men who are asking key questions about the purpose and authenticity of their lives is a wonderfully fun device. It's also a highly impressive balancing act of tone--never taking itself too seriously while offering the audience universal thematic connection. A fun night at the theater!
