←Recommendations of Miss Keller Has No Second Book

An insightful look into an artist's gift to the world and some pretty large issues to contend with. Well done!

What a terrific play! The dialogue is compelling. The characters leap off the page. The playwright skillfully tells you everything you need with out spelling out every little detail. A delightful read. It’s not hard to see why this play has gotten so many accolades. I highly recommend this for reading, for production, and as instruction to playwrights on how to do it right!

Irresistible! Hiett offers strong roles, particularly for two 70something actresses, and a story that feels like a classic. Nobody is completely right nor completely wrong in this tale of a Harper Lee-ish novelist, and the playwright resists resorting to the expected characterizations, favoring instead complicated, flawed heroines and heroes, which is infinitely more interesting and clever. As I read, I kept contacting local actresses in my area to let them know that this was simply a script they had to read. A powerhouse play for powerhouse performers ... rearrange your theatrical schedule to make room for a production, pronto.

Complex and lovable characters, humor grounded in truth, a full and tactile world... this play has all of that and Hiett's signature wit. Again, Hiett tackles weighty subjects such as grief and addiction with a deft and surprising hand. It was a joy to read from beginning to end. I just love her characters and these two old broads are wonderful roles for older female actors to play.
