    “ Wow, what a kick in the b*lls THIS play is! And deservedly so. If every man in a position to control women's destinies could be forced to live with the power in women's hands there'd be a lot of crying and whining. And Laura's giving Patrick the old "smile, you're more attractive that way" line is icing on the schadenfreude cake. Really smart writing. ”

    “ It's a shame that from the start of religion, women and men weren't created equal by god, but "HE" didn't do that and so we've been playing catch-up with equality since the very start and it's been one long road. Bublitz offers up a funny play about a switch in what it might be like if men were not in charge at all, and quite frankly, even being one, I'd be glad with that outcome! ”

    “ I am in love with this play. What a brilliant idea! Can it be real? After reading Bublitz's play, I used it in conversations with Pro-Life supporters and it left them speechless with no argument back. Thank you for creating such a fantastic point of view. ”
