    “ This killed me! But in the right way. With belly laughs. I WISH doctors were this fun. Kate Danley has crafted a funny little gem with (Yeah, I'll say it) surgical precision. My favorite bit was the greeting card. Simple yet effective. Like the best medicine. ”

    “ KATE DANLEY takes the idea of “Kill Them With Kindness” to a new level of absurdity. In her witty play, a doctor and nurse try to make a patient see the bright side of his serious medical condition - a sure way to make someone feel better, so they say. You will certainly laugh out loud with this gem. ”

    “ This is a hilarious black comedy. A simple premise that piles on so many laugh-out-laughs in just a few short pages. Well done! ”
