    Man, I love an uninhibited older lady, and this play delivers on that front! The dialogue here is smart and snappy with characters talking past one another and not quite hearing what the other is saying, which makes Evelyn and Virgil feel like real people on the page.

    Really nice, Kim. So great to see seniors being physical and the trope of the sneezing is terrific business for an actor. Your pieces always have wonderful dialogue and fascinating characters in unique settings. Great story! Brava!

    What Baggage by Kim E.Ruyle is a total delight! Two seniors have just made love and suddenly their conversation turns to moving into together and all the possibilities and problems they may encounter. The play is charming, touching, surprising, and very funny. The characters and dialogue feel totally believable. This is one of those plays you never want to end. It's a winner- read it-- and see!
