...classroom.Further merits go to David J. Smolinsky ’11, who plays Scripps, the aspiring-writer who narrates the play in the form of a memoir. Yet more of Scripps’ narration would have helped ground the audience’s understanding of the basic plot, points of which were sometimes lost amidst a barrage of historical, literary, and political references delivered in over-practiced British accents. Nevertheless, this does not diminish Smolinsky’s fantastic performance both in the scenes and along the sidelines as the narrator.Highest of all accolades should be awarded to James...
...clear and smoothly executed. In one moment, Clay and Kelly are talking to Mr. Hadid about the price of the dinner table, while in the next the audience is transported into the middle of their terrible Thanksgiving dinner.Despite the clarity of these temporal shifts, there are several key plot questions that go unanswered through most of the play, but this ambiguity shapes its tempo.

The plot is typical bromance fodder. After waking up from four years in a coma, Eugene Bell (Cregger) discovers that his once virginal high-school girlfriend Cindi Whitehall (Raquel Alessi), has become a Playboy centerfold. His pre-coma best friend Tucker Cleigh (Moore) has relationship issues of his own after accidentally stabbing his epileptic...
...Because she's desperate for money (her challenging son Oscar, played by Jason Spevack, needs to go to private school), Rose gets into the more lucrative end of the cleaning business: tidying up suicides and sponging up blood and guts at crime scenes, a plot apparently inspired by an NPR story. She takes as her partner her sister Norah (Emily Blunt), a young woman who has so consistently screwed up that she's practically paralyzed...
