    “ THIS play made me laugh, nod my head, sigh, wince and say, "Hmm" - loud enough my cat noticed. Danley's voice is so fresh and her dialogue is so compelling. Bouncy! Like jazz. This delightful short play will win over audiences. It has everything! And is so rich and fun. ”

    “ Wouldn't the truth always trump kindness? Kate says yes in this very to-the-point piece. Doctors are shown to be insane showmen (glad for this critique). Somebody's gotta' do it. ”
