    Wacky and wonderful. This is the most fun you'll have in 10 minutes today. No wonder it's part of Smith & Kraus' Best 10 Minute Plays of 2024.

    I saw this performed live at Veteran's Rep a week ago and it was hilarious! The actors were frenzied and the story line was madcap farce all the way. Nice twists and turns! Brava!

    The biggest shock that came to me while reading this is 'why didn't I write this first?,' however I knew it couldn't be my work from the brilliance in it's writing. Melissa Milich does a phenomenal job with this farce. The plot twist at the end is wonderful and sure to give all audience members a hoot and a holler. Well done!

The parts of the delivery person, preacher, lawyer and grave digger all must be played by the same actor.
