“ As a long-time patron of bars and art houses, I’m enamored of this. Outstanding barroom prattle - wisecracks on the surface, with underlying sadness of folks throwing their lives away. The conversation about a painting done by the bartender’s son is superb, fascinating. Drama holds a mirror up to life and when the stage has an abstract painting that the characters imagine themselves in, there’s magic, wonderful depth to Libby Heily’s INFERENCE AND DEDUCTION. With characters so vivid I feel like I know them even as they seem to exist in the painting--Wow, that's something! ”
