    “ What to believe? What do you want to believe? Jessie's brush with Ol' Mister Scratch might, if she chooses unwisely, have eternal ramifications. A nice two-hander that will keep the audience guessing! ”

    “ I love the idea of something you thought was fanciful as a kid being confirmed as an adult! Fun conversation about the after life. ”

    “ Who knew that Satan had it in him to be deceitful? In this clever play, a somewhat tormented Jessie gets a visit from Satan himself. He seems friendly enough, convinces her that she's not on his "list," and then gets her to understand the importance of being a bit more selfish. The play seems to be an expertely crafted allegory for life--not all that glitters is gold. The dialogue is crisp, the characters memorable, and the situtation presented must be a delight to bring to life. Highly recommend! ”

    “ She Fed the Devil is great a great two hander with a devilish twist in the tail. I really enjoyed the dialogue between Jessie and the surprisingly polite and charming Devil. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece! Give it a read and save your soul haha! ”

    “ What a sneaky, low down, under-handed, manipulative, trickster Marcia Eppich-Harris is! And I mean that in the best way. She hooked me right from the start here, creating a crafty devil to rival the best of them. Not with threats or scares, but with some convincing positive reinforcement. I loved this play. Well done Marcia. ”

    “ "She Fed the Devil" is smart and funny. Eppich-Harris's wry, dry wit is as bitter sweet as the berries Jessie fed the devil as a kid. In ten short minutes Jessie and the Devil go through sin, guilt, temptation, selflessness, selfishness, and self-care. It is like all of eternity can be decided in only ten minutes. The casting of this show and the Devil is very open to interpretation. Eppich-Harris gives enough room for nuance and subtext in this tight play, but there is always room for the Devil. ”

    “ The lesson of this play? Should you ever meet Satan, do not engage! A fun, irreverent short play perfect for any 10 minute festival. ”

    “ Too much fun!! That sneaky Satan. This short play is just delightful as it zips along with fast and razor sharp dialogue. I'm a sucker for plays with Biblical characters acting like 21st century people, and this play is one of my favorites. ”

    “ A wonderfully witty piece that I can see being a festival piece. It takes the simple concept of the devil, spin washes it with a modern twist and you get this gem of a play! I want to mention the end but I won't as you will want to read it for yourself! ”

    “ Oh that evil bastard! That was perfect. What better way to portray the Devil than one using marketing and rebranding to work his charms. A fun little play! ”
