This show is like sex. It's dirty/hot/funny/messy/awkward and when it's done you might just want to go again.
Three friends are sorting through adead man's house after his funeralbut sorting through their emotional baggage soon takes center stage. The trioteasingly gives us snippets from the service, and old love letters used in scene changes are smart and engaging. Sex, grief, and timing open things up to boldly run towards what might be awesome or might be a train-wreck.

And the ending? Awkward, ambiguous, and with a smile.
The dialogue is very tight. They use awkward pausing like champs. The three performers are never fullyfleshed-out,but they are so very real and relatable.
And fun, these three are really fun.
