“ Well this is just wonderfully nasty fun, with a wonderfully nasty twist at the end which plays beautifully into contemporary ennui and paranoia. A perfect example of how to write a Zoom play with heft, rapidity, and wit. ”

“ I don't think I have I ever seen a marriage so expertly, and subtly, delineated as Debbie Lamedman does here. Setting traps through an ingenious device (crossword puzzle clues), Lamedman hooks us in and then pulls the spring with vicious alacrity; we’re both stunned by how obvious it all is, and yet how surprised we are. A terrific work, and a feast for two actors. ”

“ This is a terrific work. By turns funny, horrifying, lighthearted, infuriating… read it yourself and fill in your own adjectives and superlatives; Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend has written quite the parable for our times here. Her use of contemporary language and mores bring the script to sharply observed life and give it an immediacy that is both hugely entertaining as well as deeply thought-provoking. I would love to see this staged. ”

“ “It’s no small thing, when your drug dealer dumps you. I would think it occasions a self- reflection.” Lines like that impress me, and this wonderfully surreal comedy is rife with them. Brendan Bourque-Sheil’s absurdist approach to his premise and characters is the work’s greatest strength; the lines are convulsively funny not because they are witty punchlines, but because they are deeply rooted in the wants and needs of both characters and plot: no matter how farfetched things get, Bourque-Sheil keeps things completely believable because he, and by extension us, believe in them – no mean feat. ”
