U.S Drag

I really enjoyed reading this play, and am thrilled at the opportunity to see it on stage. The dialogue is very well done in the sense that it perfectly conveys a very black type of humor, while also sounding at least reasonably realistic. The interaction between Allison, Angela, and James at the beginning of the play is a good example of this. The exchange is dark and still believable. This exchange is a perfect way to open the play because it also immediately shows how flawed these characters are. The girls, for instance, only care about the brutal murder James is telling them about because discussing it gives them an opportunity to have free drinks and to manipulate James into giving them money. These personality flaws are shown in even greater detail when the girls join SAFE for the purpose of actually catching Ed and receiving the reward money rather than warning the public about a threat to their safety.

Overall, I thought this play was very entertaining.
