"I was searching for a contemporary play to select a scene for my acting class. Believe it or not, this trivial at first glance task appeared insurmountable to me. Numerous plays I read in a library were too old or painfully boring, pointless and ridiculous, or maybe I am not a big fan of plays in general.
For a scene taken from the compilation of scenes book, recommended for class, I could not find a printed full play it was taken from, which is important if you're an actor preparing a scene, well, you need to know at least how it ends, right?
Finally, I came across of Dial -L. It was a pleasant experience reading it. I read it at once through the end, then couple days later I read it again and discovered more delicate humor nuances that were just awesome I want to quote it. Such an elegant and witty style of writing! Fans of Alfred Hitchcock, will get extra kick out of it, as it is in some way a homage/parody of his style.
It is not only a great material for an acting class scene, but just for fun reading time. I gave my scene partner to read the play, he loved it too. I hope to see the production of this play someday. (Or be in it:) "
