“
A short history play for a short presidency that educates as it entertains. I appreciate the insight that it's not the amount of days someone serves but the overall effect of one's service. In light of today's more complicated transitioning of power, Steven Hayet gives us an example of how our democracy ought to work and how it once did after the death of WHH. The humor is a delightful skewering of our modern propensity for measuring a legacy in days and makes me wish for more president plays from Mr. Hayet. ”

“
Funny and witty, this short piece has a surprisingly emotional and poignant moment (particularly in lieu of the 2020 election) hidden within its lightheartedness. A fine tribute to WHH and the office of the presidency--truly. ”

“
A thoughtful and fun exploration of what you leave behind as your legacy, as told through the lens of a most unexpected - and by the end, well deserving - American president. And only in ten minutes! History buffs like myself and audiences in general will be charmed by this play on the precedent of presidents and peaceful transfer of power. ”
