Play a Day: Twenty-Seven

David Hilder

For Tuesday, I read Twenty-Seven by David Hilder and posted at New Play Exchange.

"Ok, everybody under the age of forty, OUT."

That's, like, my favorite line of dialogue I've read all month.

Twenty-Seven is a touching memoir about growing up. Just kidding, this is a riotous sex comedy about fucked up trust fund children and the inescapable damage caused being raised wealthy and shallow.

And it is also, in is special way, about growing up. About finding true happiness and supports the unglamorous truth about really great middle-age sex. Hilder has great talent with brisk and witty dialogue and sympathetic if somewhat shameful characters.

Who should I read tomorrow?
