Description
Joseph is having a comically rough year. His job sucks, his relationship ended, he’s plagued by prank phone calls, and he nearly lost his father to the virus. When his best friend asks him to donate his sperm so that she can start a family, Joseph just can’t understand why anyone would bring a child into this calamitous world. The only bright spot is an intriguing new online relationship with an attractive internet “daddy” that has him rethinking his isolation until a series of revelations have him facing even bigger decisions about his future.

So relatable!
I loved listening to this original play and was amazed by how invested I became in the main character and his experiences during a long pandemic quarantine. I loved the storytelling and use of various pandemic digital realities to layer the narrative. The characters and their impressions of these very complex situations were so relatable. I loved the twist in the end— it made me want to go back and listen again!

Problematic
One of the difficulties in writing is making a main character that is believable and likeable. Character flaws are key to making the audience empathize with a character and it leaves room for growth. Unfortunately, the main character has a toxic self-righteousness that can be found in the gay community these days. People who are well educated but overall, not very intelligent. They lack basic human kindness in favor of superiority and being morally right in grey or complex issues. One star for overall because i didn't enjoy the short narrative overall. One star for performance as very little range was used by main character. One star for story because the plot made little sense and there were holes in the narrative and logic. This could have been wrapped up nicely with the main character awakening from an ICU coma because it had the logic of a fever dream.

Not what I was expecting.
I really didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t read the description.. skimmed it barely. But the story was interesting. I wish we could’ve known a little more - felt like the author decided to keep us in suspense. It was an good look into how we aren’t always the “best friend” we think we are. Sometimes we focus more on ourselves than those around us. Makes us seem self-centered. Even during a pandemic, we should take our friends and families feelings into consideration, and be aware of how we treat them.

Surprising art piece
I didn’t know what I was getting into. I was listening and loving it. I loved the scenes of him at work. I was rooting for his video date.
And then the twist. That was weird. Not sure how I feel about it.
Still glad I listened.
I don’t get to go to small theater original productions, but I feel like that’s what I just experienced. This is art. It doesn’t give you all the answers, doesn’t tell you how to feel, and leaves space for each observer to take away their own experience.
Yeah, glad I listened.
Performance and production were superb.

Hilarious/relatable pandemic about relationships
The thing I love about how Paul Kruse writes relationships is you can find at least one relatable character trait, if not more. This play pulls us through the beginning of the pandemic, including all the funny and ugly truths of the world we live in today. The story is one of those stories where after you know the ending, you just have to go back and listen again to see what you missed the first time around.

Funny, tender, nuanced. Queer brilliance!
This play is for all those queer folks out there who know how it is to feel held in so many beautiful and complicated ways by families of their choosing. Held as in held accountable. And held as in lovingly embraced even at far flung distances amidst a pandemic. It's a play, too, about online dating, suffering through Zoom teaching (ha!), desire, longing, change, time, examining privilege, intergenerational compassion, friendship, conflict and care. If all this sounds like your cup of tea, get ready to laugh and feel things. Paul Kruse is a brilliant and exquisite writer, who gorgeously disrupts our expectations. And Adil Mansoor is a directing magician.

Download it on a whim… A favorite!
I really loved the pacing and narration of the story. A lot of surprising twists and turns but not in a dark way. I hope to see more from this author
