“ A proverbial culture war occurs in the bedrock of civilization in this political drama by Vince Gatton. Dialogue is raw, bold, staggering, witty. Current societal vistas are laid bare regarding religious freedom, marital rights, class privileges, youth's dreams, gender expression, first-world problems, etc. As a resident of Florida, known for being a cultural vacuum (if not void), a great deal of the play rang not only true, but familiar. Reminiscent of the social dramas of Emilio Estevez or Michael Tolkin's THE RAPTURE, the heart bleeds off the page. The central twist is as incendiary as the play's titular historical catastrophe. ”

“ With just these five vivid and thought-provoking characters, Vince Gatton has shown us the entire world in ALEXANDRIA. Though I just finished reading the play, I immediately want to start again from the beginning and try to find new discoveries. ALEXANDRIA is an exciting page-turner that also has deep humanity; the reader or viewer is kept engaged in the plot and with each individual and unique character. ”

“ It starts so simply, so poetically, a bittersweet naturalistic portrait of contemporary small-town life, a sensitive meditation on politics and faith and friendship. And then, because Vince Gatton is a diabolical genius, a series of breathtakingly terrifying surprises erupt, allowing the dark and monstrous fantasies buried deep in our national subconscious to come erupting to the surface. I won't tell you exactly what sort of an apocalypse you can expect, but I can promise you won't be the same when you come out the other side of it. Read this play. Produce this play. NOW. ”

“ To be completely honest, the things I like most about this play are things that are best experienced for yourself. And experience it you should. While the swerves are harsh, the way Gatton sets them up are impeccably earned. The story goes into tense, challenging, and often painful territory, yet in a way that faces down the darkness with a hard, thoughtful stare. ”
