To pee or not to pee, that is the question that looms over this charmingly quirky play that's not without a hint of creepy darkness. The way Hoke keeps turning the tables with small but surprising "shifts" keeps you guessing throughout, and leads to a destination that's both satisfying and open-ended to possibilities.

There aren't many metaphors which you can get as much mileage from--pardon the pun--as the American car. Miranda Jonte powers through that mileage and much more in this lyrical, humorous, gentle, sad and in-depth look at male/female dynamics and matters of the heart. The disparate elements she combines (poetry/car jargon; good people/poor decisions; comedy/heartbreak) makes for a full and revved up play of ideas that makes you reflect on your own past mistakes, albeit from an understanding and forgiving point of view. Also, the characters across the board compel and make for a glorious ride.

I want to quote so many great lines in this ode to sensuality by Miranda Jonte, a fitting, sometimes funny (and just as erotically charged) companion piece to the broad of your back. It's every inch a poem, but the lyricism has teeth, and the words drip with blood as well as squelched desire. It's a superhuman feat to write about matters of the flesh and avoid being banal and cliche, but Jonte manages it and then some. And yes, I believe a cold shower is--coughcough--in order. Would love to see this on a stage!

A sly, hilarious and semi-horrifying take on the mentality of a particular gun rights advocate who lacks a keen grasp of the obvious. It packs the power of Jonathan Swift's satire A Modest Proposal and does it in such a way that you're continually entertained even as it shocks.

Would be happy to park into such a wonderful lot as this play. Fun, poignant, and utilizes all the theatrical tools to craft a unique, funny and rewarding journey. My hand signals = two thumbs way up!
