Smockmomma,

It will take many martinis to convince me to let anyone read the thing. I wrote the first draft in high school (ouch) and the second in college. The third (just so you know that it takes me a REALLY long time to outgrow foolhardiness - a stupid play on a bad premise that takes me well over a decade to keep at. Uggh), only three years ago. It still hurts, but when I pull the stupid thing out, I can't help myself. It is called First Night Review. If you ever see it staged, you will know that someone bribed me pretty heavily.
