    “ Well I hope I am never a poor fox entrapped by the Goddess of the Hunt! This play has so many twist and turns, so much double crossing its hard to keep up. I particularly admired the use of information screens flagging up social media posts throughout. And I hope I don't find myself sharing a kir royale with Hemmingway anytime soon! Superb! ”

    “ Dirtily Rotten ...Scoundrels! I'll never look at a Kir Royale the same way again ;) Loved the characters who "look like ED but aren't ED" sprinkled throughout, the pacing, the double entendres. Nice! ”

    “ From the very beginning I latched onto the characters analysis of the world of social media. As the play continues you are rewarded by one after another of brilliantly constructed characters and their witty dialogue. The story proceeds along many interesting twists and turns that has you dying to know more by the end of each page. Its a fabulous rollercoaster story that I would love to see...and dream to be in! ”

    “ Is it possible for a play to have too much to love? Because I love the dialogue which is quick-witted but still character driven. I love the story which is smart, smart, smart, but delivers on heart as well! Also, as a an actor, I wish I could get to say these words!! A great story, written well. Hope to see this up on its feet one day! (Or be involved!!) ”

    “ Sometimes you read a play and think - 'How does the writer do that? How does someone create such a plot/characters etc.' This is a constant wonder with Doug DeVita's work. This madcap play has more packed into it than a bursting suitcase. With his trademark skill at characterisation and plot twists, DeVita achieves his aim of entertaining and stopping you in your tracks. Wonderful roles, sparkling dialogue and a cracking plot - what more do you want? ”

    “ A fun and intriguing mystery with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. And, in the heart of it, a very real search for love. Would love to see this play staged! ”

    “ Reading this felt a bit like first time viewing one of the more delightfully insane movies I've ever seen, "So I Married an Axe Murderer." I giggled. I went wide-eyed at moments of comedy and at moments of shocking thrillery goodness. I'm quite happy to have read this amazing work. Three cheers for Doug DeVita. This show is lovely in so many ways. I can't wait to read more of DeVita's works. ”

    “ Witty, fast-paced, and, oh, so dark. Doug DeVita gives us a pair of really twisted antagonists, a sympathetic mark, and a plot that’s twists and turns its way to one reveal after another. Goddess of the Hunt is scary. It’s touching. And it’s highly entertaining. Bravo! ”

    “ Oh my gosh, what a fun play! I especially loved the way Facebook posts were incorporated in between scenes and slowly discovering how characters were connected to each other as the play unfolded. I would also love a spinoff play about Ed and the cast of "Crazy for Abe" (a Sondheim musical about the Lincolns) because I smiled every time Ed talked about the show he was in. So much fun! And there's murder, too! ”

    “ If you're looking for a play that has that classic Doug DeVita wit, intriguing characters, biting dialogue, and the perfect blend of 21st century romance and murder, Goddess Of The Hunt is the one. Everything about this script is well thought-out while still being unexpected for the reader. I especially love the social media elements which never detract from the actors but make their decisions all the more engaging. I won't spoil anything but producers should most definitely get this piece off the page and onto the stage. ”
