2.5, rounded up.

This is the third play from Ryan I have read - and the one I liked least. It's a fairly standard, even rather trite rom-com and satire on modern romance and dating. My major problems were not only did the dialogue sound non-naturalistic and often the characters would act in ridiculous fashion - but one didn't really LIKE any of the characters. However, I could see how with really good actors it might play (although the reviews were rather mixed). Also, shockingly, this had some of the worst copy-editing on any play I've seen in a long time - shame on Oberon, who usually is the gold standard.
