  • I'm obsessed with this play! I love the concept alone (women hot dog eating contest? already sold), and then it took me on so many different journeys and in unexpected directions. The end was satisfying and left me with questions.

    I love the use of clowns and lazzi, allegory, comedy. So much is said so smartly in this incredible satire

    I saw a production of this at the Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre and it translates extremely well to the stage. The audience doesn't even realize what's happening with the language until a few minutes in- if not until the monologue. It's very effective.

    I had the privilege of seeing this piece performed at the 48th Annual Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival. It was funny, sweet, and the characters draw you in. It's an age old should they or shouldn't they, but the language of this piece and the thesis really soar and hit home. How do you describe, or even feel, a feeling if you don't have the words for it? Is ignorance bliss, or is knowledge power? Truly Mallory's descriptions of feelings without using the word for them was the most outstanding part. A sweet drama worth the read.

    I had the privilege of seeing this piece performed at the 48th Annual Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival. It was unique and heartfelt story about two people connecting, or at least trying to. Understanding between generations. Use of language barrier and how it is overcome/utilized is smart and fresh. Excellent title and the theme that goes along with it.
