“ Fable weaves an incredible history around the making of the iconic musical Gypsy. Having three June Havocs on stage at different ages, all tortured souls, has heartbreaking impact. The play is full of the biting wit that fans of Devita's work (myself included) love! It is a treasure trove of award winning roles for women and a playground for a director. ”

“ People say "hoot" and "campy" all too often, but I don't think you can say either one enough about this play that is truly fabulous (ducking). More important, amid the delicious bitchiness of showbiz monsters, Doug DeVita spins a tale of great heart and feeling, of sibling rivalry and toxic parenting, and the iron will it takes to survive it all no matter how deep the wounds suffered along the way. Then there's the sheer theatricality that's sure to dazzle an audience. A bravura piece, a marvelous accomplishment! ”

“ When I read Gypsy in my musical theatre history class in college, I must unfortunately admit that I cared for it all that much. I can say without a shred of hesitation that DeVita's Fable is a theatrical force that I would love to see and read multiple times. It's strange to think about, but for me, June's story, presented here, is the one I'll keep with me. I certainly understand why this piece has achieved so much acclaim and praise. It's more than earned it, and DeVita is an amazing wordsmith. ”

“ This seven-character play soars and succeeds in its ambition to bring to the fore the sister of Gypsy Rose Lee, both immortalised, for better or worse, in the musical Gypsy. Picking out real life facts, DeVita uses a dance marathon and vaudeville stage framework for this bitter sweet interrogation of the choices and compulsions when your lasting memorial is as a ‘character’ in somebody else’s show. Dynamic and insightful, drawing attention to its own theatricality, it manages to feel like a truthful portrayal and a rueful interrogation of show business and the nature and dangers of fiction. ”
