“
A wonderfully entertaining allegory that ends with a lovely, poignant moment. Antone makes her point clearly without becoming pedantic and the result is enormously entertaining. ”

- Ross Tedford Kendall:6 May. 2020“ An allegory taking aim at one of the most hotly debated issues of our time. While the characters may never see eye to eye, the conversation this play will generate will not be wasted. ”
- Cheryl Bear:1 May. 2020“ An excellent parable for reproductive rights using nature, species of all kinds will be sure to give their two sense despite consequences. Well done. ”
- Rachael Carnes:17 May. 2019“ A perfect parable, and this week, a balm for the soul. When it comes to looking at women's reproductive rights, Antone gets at the heart of the matter, with wisdom, humor and heart. ”
- John Weagly:30 Dec. 2018“ A timely fable about serious things told with whimsy. Poignant and funny. ”
- Ellen Koivisto:21 Dec. 2018“ If Aesop were still around collecting fables, this would be one of the first he'd grab. Hens lay eggs. But that doesn't mean every egg has to, or even can become a chicken. Laying an egg doesn't mean the hen has the resources to keep the egg. But the "can't keep his trunk in his own business" elephant doesn't see it that way. In the battle over who makes decisions about eggs, shells crack and a lot of yolk is left on the sidewalk. Read it. ”
- Asher Wyndham:4 Oct. 2017“ This is the first parable-play that I've read on the reproductive rights and abortion. It's a must-read; it does more than just present through humor the psychology and positions of both sides - represented by an Elephant and a Chicken; it's a spot-on satire criticizing the self-interest and cruelty of the modern conservative party and women-hating conservative men. If you're producing an evening of plays on these issues, consider including Antone's The Egg. ”
