“
A walking pathetic fallacy! Loved it. Witty banter juxtaposed with real warmth despite the cold atmospheric weather throughout. Well done! ”

“
A sweet soupçon of romance, a well knitted and effective short mixed with the ingredients of a 1930s remarriage comedy and a Mike Leigh family drama. Chicky has been living with Norton's peculiar problem for long enough, but what causes her to confront him about it and task him with going at it from each angle possible? It's now effecting their daughter...her wedding no less. Although actually solving every aspect of their circumstance is basically unrealistic, the play serves as a reflection on accepting all of the good and the bad that comes with the one you love. ”

“
A wild yet sweet-natured comic ride! Norton and Chicky contend with inner storms that are far more potent than the meteorologic plague that has befallen Norton. A wacky seeming premise leads to real depth of character development and a satisfying romantic ending. ”
