At what point does desperation turn to total defeat and then acceptance? Hat and Glasses have clearly reached that point as they engage in their nameless, mundane routine. That Daniel Prillaman’s dialogue makes this so humorous and compelling is an extraordinary achievement. The introduction of the aptly named Third Wheel changes the tone and turns up the tension. This is an absolutely fascinating character study that despite its unique setting is surprisingly relatable. Hope these characters find their way out of the pit and onto the stage.

Daniel Prillaman has created something wonderfully clever in this piece. As the audience you are not distracted by any complex sets or elaborate costumes, instead you are gifted by fabulously tense and provocative dialogue and a relationship where you are desperate to know what will happen next. From the very first 'consideration over coffee' I was utterly fascinated by these characters and I think any performer would be lucky to bring them to live, as would a director for making this piece a reality!

One often feels sorry for Prillamans characters, as does Daniel himself, one would hope. PIT is a complex, yet painfully simple premise; put crabs in a pot and see what happens. When there's just two, companionship and acceptance can follow, throw in a third and all hell can brake loose.
So many unanswered questions, the main being why are they there and who put them there? Also for me, one question remains which I would love an answer to; Just why did the CEO sack the Watchman?
This is Prillaman at his best!
