| "State of the Art" and "Ta-da!" "State" is "delightfully clever" "dazzling" "side splitting" - 3 characters in a writer's mind with black boxes "used as needed" in "Ta-da!" the trio aim "to get done what we do... next level-wise..." |
| "A View Unassisted" "intriguing and misleading... what she's after is more precious than gold" "What do I have to do to get...?" |
| "Absolutes" "wit is dry and deft" an apolitical comedy for a "corporate couple" |
| "The Sort of Happy Ending to The Sad Tale of Mr. Ali Ali, Or: The Lighter Side of Outsourcing Torture" "Black humor, political rhetoric... the life blood of this pungent romp" "sublimely ridiculous... deliciously malicious" |
