Synopsis: Comedy / 4m. 4f. flexible casting from 4-16 actors / Unit Set / Ever walked into a restaurant and seen an attractive couple in the back talking excitedly, their hands gesturing wildly, their expressions changing swiftly from joy to sadness and back again? Ever wondered what they were saying? Well, we have no clue about that, but if you want a really funny and touching play about men and women in restaurants and bars looking for love and finding much more than they bargained for, then check out THIS IS NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The LA Weekly raved that it "mines the bottomless pit of male-female partnering." Backstage West chimed in that "a startled deer in an SUV's headlights has nothing on these love-phobic characters. In the sure hands of a relationship-savvy playwright, an evening of charm and humor is bound to follow."
