Reviews

"GO!
Witty aphorisms fly fast and furious... The cast is superb... the pacing and timing are remarkable"
--LA Weekly

PICK OF THE WEEK!
"Death hasn’t been this funny in years! Of all the “afterlife” pieces around, playwright Jeffrey Hartgraves’ is among the best... The dialog is so clever and intelligent between the four that you just want it to go on and on...The four actors who portray the writers are absolutely terrific. They have channeled their characters to perfection...this is an excellent piece and one that you should ABSOLUTELY try to catch before it closes"
--ReviewPlays.com

"A boldly boisterous and bodacious bitchfest! Written brilliantly by Jeffrey Hartgraves... performances all around are excellent... the intellectual bickering that ensues is hilarious... a laugh-a-minute lark...do see it!"
Pat Taylor, Tolucan Times
