'This is our blanket! Sit on it if you like and enjoy the park, it’s a lovely park. I’ve seen two dogs since you’ve been arguing about happiness.
'In a nice park, in a nice city, two nice couples try very, very hard to be nice to each other while the sound of ice cream trucks (wait, no) ambulances (nope!) the Global Financial Crisis screams into town.
'She Rode Horses Like the Stock Exchange is an absurdly funny and terrifying ride through a downsized, foreclosed nation. This is a fresh new play about gender expectations, possession and loneliness, money and ego. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Spend all your money on ice cream. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.'
