    “ You always know you're onto a winner when the character list makes you smile. From there you are catapulted into a brilliantly funny (laugh out loud funny) play with wonderfully witty back and forth dialogue ("Ah, yes. Noël Coward and the lesser Fleming. This cannot be good." - Fabulous!) This play is one that carries its audience through a fabulously funny story constructed of unique characters and great dialouge. Its that perfect mixture that makes a reader wants to see it live! ”

    “ To bring such varied historical characters together like this is truly inspired! Triplett brings us such a strong, believable character analysis of Noel Coward, and I couldn't help but smile as I saw the story of Blythe Spirit unfold. Indeed this whole play had me smiling throughout, I would love to see this staged, it would be hilarious! There's even one section where the characters find the whole story so unbelievable that they assume they might be in a play themselves! BRILLIANT! ”

    “ Smart, sharp and impossible to step away from, "True Will" is masterfully woven and hilarious in an intelligent way. In a script that could easily have lost its way, Triplett has enviable control and produced a great show that audiences and actors will love. ”

    “ I read a lot of plays that make my laugh, quietly to myself, as I'm usually alone when I read them. However, I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud repeatedly at the wonderful wit displayed in Triplett's work. I would've never thought of putting these specific historical characters together, but it's a brilliant conceit. Triplett knows his original material well, but he rounds these characters out and pits them against each other in ways that are unique and startling. I love that the presence of a Nazi defector appears to be the least of anyone's problems. Marvelous stuff! ”

    “ Terrific. Whip smart satire, deliciously funny, and the dialogue snaps, crackles, and pops with wit of the highest order. Bravo, Mr. Triplett. Bravo! ”

    “ True Will is a wickedly funny and smart historical satire. William Triplett weaves the mysterious Rudolf Hess affair with the creation of Blythe Spirit and the exotic mystic Crowley in a hilarious invention. It is a multi-layered comedy filled with meaty roles for its actors. A perfect pairing with Blythe Spirit or any play set early in the Second World War. Expect laughter. ”

    “ True Will was one of 5 winning plays in our Panndora's Box new works festival 2016. It is a wonderfully complex interesting play with truly unique comic moments. Our audience loved it, the cast of the reading loved it, and we loved it. A real audience pleaser. What's not to like in a play that creates a scenario for the writing of Blythe Spirit and intertwines Noel Coward with Ian Fleming, Bond, Moneypenny and Alistair Crowley. Yummy stuff! Plus Bill Triplett is a delight to work with as playwright. ”
