Scottish Sperm

Smartly scripted and well performed, Scottish Sperm concerns three young Americans and their interweaving relationships. The lightning-fast deadpan delivery keeps things progressing at a steady clip, but the play’s strength is also its major failing – the characters are so articulate and highly-polished that it’s near impossible to develop any lasting sympathy with them. And that title is truly awful.
