“ What a marvelous tribute to a mythically proportioned era of Hollywood! The writing is consistently sharp, at times dazzlingly witty, at others delving into fundamental human truths. The conceit of anchoring the narrative in the fussing about around the dead body of a pivotal character is both poignant and an occasion for some wonderfully comedic moments. The characters are appropriately larger than life as Hollywood legends but distinct and relatable. Also some detailed world-building as we are immersed in sort of an alternative history of Hollywood. Truly stunning work from DeVita and Lyons! And I'm craving Yorkshire pudding. ”

“ Foreshadowing what "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" would do for film, "Just a Rumor" successfully spins historical fact with fictional speculation that results in a rich, theatrical script that combines farcical action and laugh-out loud dialogue that has a deeper purpose. The play ultimately reveals affairs of the heart and how a death affects the survivors, who individually must confront the reality of what has been lost and what may be gained on the other side. ”

“ Having just spent a year researching Viv and Larry, I was eager to read this play and wasn't disappointed. I loved the immersion into old Hollywood and particularly the themes of what emerges as truth years after the fact. Most enjoyable! ”
