[Dee Dee OConnor · Rating 2 out of 5]

Maybe you have to have lived in the world of making TV commercials to appreciate this play. Maybe it plays better than it reads. I just had a difficult time with this. I never got into and it took me a while to finish which is unusual for me with plays. Iti simply didn't hold my interest.
