I *hate* asking for things. Even “could you pass the salt” feels like an imposition. Networking feels opportunistic and disingenuous.
Emily McClain has created a beautiful parable for people like me: the inhibited self-deniers mortified by anything that could potentially be construed as an imposition.

The characters are perfect foils for this lesson in which désire and negotiation escalate quickly with humor and honesty. Hopefully, you’ll end up a little braver after experiencing this play than you were before it started. ”
