Did you do the thing yet, Joe?

    This is madness. I love it. Art imitates life in this short as Joe is harassed daily as to whether or not he has done the thing yet. I love how it heightens, and after wondering how in the world this play could possibly end, it ended perfectly.

    Brilliant. Plays are always more fun when you know the people being written about and the joke that is presented. This is so fun and I'm glad this moment in history will be remembered by the great, Christopher Plumridge. Thanks, Chris, for the laugh!

    I love this! It's creepy. Or is it? There isn't really any sense of menace behind Joe's mysterious antagonist. But as the drama unfolds and the messages become more and more outlandish, you're left thinking, "They can't be human! They just can't be! What do they want?"
    Joe's insistence that there is nothing to worry about in spite of all evidence to the contrary is the icing on the cake.
