In “The Guys,” Lori M. Myers imagines a speed dating event attended by conjoined twins. In less masterful hands, the situation could devolve into cheap laughs at the expense of the differently abled, but Myers creates characters, not types, and we get to know them. Larry and Barry bicker and feud, and their zingers are truly funny, but Honey, a compassionate woman, helps the brothers reconcile. She also gets a date. “The Guys” is a great choice for short play festivals, especially if romance and dating are themes. Highly recommended.
