    I'd say this was a dystopian view of the future, but it's a lot closer than we'd like to think. A clandestine deal in contraband with a few surprises along the way. I never get tired of the insightfulness of Mr. Williams' work, and this one makes us worry not just for the characters, but for ourselves as well. This one should be done everywhere. Especially in FLORIDA.

    I wonder if this is what it will eventually come down to? Clandestine meetings with coded passwords in order to defy a totalitarian trending government. This is the sort of thing for spies and agents with licenses to kill, not school teachers and policemen. Philip Middleton Williams may have hit on a forward look into our future with this play. There's a gentle humor presiding over some very real threats to our liberties. It helps make this scary concept much easier to swallow. This is smart stuff.

    I love this brilliant little play skewering certain ideas floating around in the zeitgeist, most notably in Florida but elsewhere as well. Williams deftly teases the reader so that it takes some little time to figure out exactly what contraband the two people on the bench are exchanging, but then the play moves into high gear and scatters chuckles aplenty in its wake. Funny without descending into silliness, this is parody with a light, though no less effective, touch. Really very nicely done.
