    “ It’s easy to see why Patrick Gabridge’s play was selected by The Ten Show (Season 2) as one of the top contenders. I watched the short movie made of BEATRIX POTTER MUST DIE! It’s fabulous! A creative, fun story weaving past and present, and getting to the bottom of Ms. Potter’s (possible) inspiration. A truly delightful play to read and watch. ”

    “ A charming mix of nostalgia and sci-fi. An alternate origin story for Farmer McGregor. Gabridge expertly laces the moving plot with literary references. Sure to be a funny standout to any short play festival. ”

    “ I produced an audio play version of this script on the radio theater podcast GATHER BY THE GHOST LIGHT after seeing it performed at SUNY Brockport. This play is such a delightful alternative take on the origin of Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". Gabridge ties everything together in such a clever and humorous way. An outstanding script suitable for all ages to enjoy! ”

    “ Beatrix Potter was a clever writer and this short comedy lets us in on her other abilities. Funny and sweetly Victorian. ”

    “ Had the privilege of hearing some college students perform this one and now I understand why it's gotten so much attention! It's a great premise with lots of laughs that will no doubt continue to have long life because it's so classic. And how many plays can you tag with "Victorian Comedy"? ”

    “ I saw a production of this zany show at my university about a year ago - it was a super wild and fun ride! Gabridge leaves a lot of room for productions to play around with props, costumes, and set design. Fun, dynamic characters with a well-used role reversal in the show. ”

    “ A fun, literary "what if?" of a short play.

    The stakes are high, there's strong dialogue and a nice bit of action, and more than a few twists and turns. "Beatrix Potter Must Die!" would be wonderful fun for performer, director, and audience alike. ”

    “ Gabridge creates an amusing encounter between Beatrix Potter and an angry farmer from the future. Both charming and entertaining, this short play deftly explains the far-reaching impact of children's literature on our ideas about nature while leading its characters to a satisfying conclusion. ”
