“ From a conversation with June Havoc, DeVita crafts this "fable" which even neophytes to the musical "Gypsy" will appreciate; instead of wanting to see "Fable" because they know "Gypsy", they will want to to see "Gypsy" because of DeVita's marvelously painful, witty and human creation. What a spectacle! DeVita's love of the theatre is palpable. Strong roles for women and much for an audience to reflect upon as they leave the theatre. What more can we ask of theatre? Bravo! ”

“ I’m in awe of this play. It’s brilliant from beginning to end. I’ve never read a play that I was more impressed with visually. The relationships are so palpable, so real, and the dialogue serves to hold their bonds with an authentic experience for the audience. The unique flow to the story keeps your attention from the first placard to the fading numbers. Astounding. Deserving of all the success for sure and deserving of more. I’m going to sit down and read it again. It’s that good. ”

“ Reading "Fable" was pure joy! It is a whirlwind theatrical experience. The complexity of the characters, although they are familiar and the stories about them are legend, "Fable" peels back layers and asks the serious question about who are legacy truly belongs to in the end. I would love to see this staged and witness all the moving pieces. What fantastic roles for women as well! ”

“ Is it better to be remembered, even if the memories aren’t true? Doug Devita has crafted a rollicking, theatrical speedboat of a ride through the mind and memories of the older June Havoc — one of three versions of June, who fights for a truthful portrayal of her younger self in the musical GYPSY — but we can’t be sure her memories are accurate, either. The dialogue is witty, laugh-out-loud funny and touching in just the right places. The characters (including the musical’s historical creators) are sharply drawn and hilariously ruthless; actors will have a blast speed-switching between them. ”
