Mike Says
This isn’t a very deep play, but it is wonderfully, playfully impossible, with just the right amount of existential angst.
I had fun writing the first draft of this play, which I finished in 2006. I was never satisfied with the first act, though, so the play remained quarantined until I started a revision in 2008. Now I like it!
