The play could have been a greater success if it focused more on its armchair sociology than on giving the play-by-play of its own set of rules. Nonetheless, the intelligence of Kunofsky’s breakdown of the plight of 21st century adult friendship remains the theme that sticks with you in the long haul. After seeing What To Do When You Hate All Your Friends, you’ll start applying the show’s rules to your own friend situation soon enough. Don’t be surprised if it fits surprisingly well.
