sometimes its fun to just read a play and reset your palate, you know?
Ives is a great choice for that too - he's hilarious and on point, as always. A fun read - would love to see the actual play....

One of the best and most amusing plays I've read. It makes fun of Shakespeare's stupid mix-up marriages that I so despise and instead is honest about how little such people know each other. Toss in modern verbiage and references, and make it all RHYMING, and this play is a funny smash hit! It only took me so long to read because I was squeezing it in while at work (at a theatre, no less).
