“As an homage to Oscar Wilde and his genius, this is a very enjoyable evening of theatre and deserves a longer run than this COVID-shortened one.” — Mark Hackmann, Broadway World: Arizona

“All the wit of Oscar Wilde, but with the openly gay characters he wished he could have written. Absolutely hilarious.” — Jennifer Kokai on the New Play Exchange

“It's clever, well written, and is begging to be done at colleges and universities across the country. Read and produce this play, please! And then invite me for opening night!” — Rachel Bublitz on the New Play Exchange
