Synopsis

Comedy / Character: 3m 1w / Unit SetPhil an average nice guy is madly in love with the beautiful Sophia.

The only problem is that she's unaware of his existence.

He tries to introduce himself but she looks right through him.

When Phil discovers Sophia has a glass eye he thinks that might be the problem but soon realizes that she really can't see him.

Perhaps he is caught in a philosophical hyperspace or dualistic reality or perhaps beautiful women are just unaware of nice guys.

Press Reviews

"A clever romantic comedy."

— St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Rocking with laughter... hilarious... polished and engaging work draws heavily on the age-old conventions of farce: improbable situations, exaggerated characters, amazing coincidences, absurd misunderstandings, people hiding in closets and barely missing each other as they run in and out of doors... full of comic momentum."

— Talkin' Broadway
