I have to admit I have a bias to this play. My daughter is currently performing a high school production of it and last week they won for our area and are headed to regionals. This play about the agony of waiting...and how frequently we are forced to endure the wait was a fun little play with lots of surprises. Enjoyable and relatable. It's a nice addition to a playbill looking for diversity and humour in their evening set. I found the vignettes well paced and amusing. Solid 4 stars for this tiny comedy.
