    Unsettling in the best way. Many things are unnamed and unsaid in the dialogue, but it's not cryptic -- there is no room for riddles in Matthew Moore's taught script. Unsettling, the thought of destroying a person's life two years after a betrayal, of being that consumed with revenge.

    02.10.26 - As I read this piece by Matthew Moore, my imagination was doing things far worse than what the dialogue was. And maybe that's the whole point. By leaving the details nebulous about how Red would get back at Cate's tormentor, the audience gets drawn into the revenge as well. This was great tension building and a piece this riveting should be seen by all.

    The dialogue in this short is fantastic! A woman has hired a hitman (of sorts) and is trying to figure out what exactly said hitman is going to do. I love how it moves and how nothing is spelled out, but is instead revealed just enough for you to keep up. Wholly captivating, wholly unique.

Anyone can (and should) play either of the two characters.
