"I love it. Great dialogue, twists, and stories... just fantastically written, dark, and humorous through and through." (Michael Weems, Cone Man Running Productions, 2017)

"THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON brings belly laughs in a smart, poignant small cast play. It has all the fun of 'The Importance of Being Earnest', but with a little fantasy, a little sex, and much more empowered women. I highly recommend this for open-minded groups who want to work on a challenging and hilarious play." (Joelle Re Arp Dunham, Circle Ensemble Theatre, 2018)

"Wonderful, Funny, Weird, and Frightening Fun!" (Beverly Austin, Working Title Playwrights, 2017)

"There are reasons why I was drawn to new plays, to theatre. Seeing something brand new take shape, witnessing creative artists giving all they can to bring a new work to life, and just the love I have for a writer that can use language but also in doing so tell a damn good story. Daniel Guyton does all this and more in THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON. This tale is almost beyond original in that it is cracking open something that peeks into another realm. Something fiercely new and ancient at the same time. It is what great art should be - transformative." (James Beck, Onion Man Productions, 2017)

"We enjoyed the Oct 13th opening night of the world premiere in Chamblee of THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON. Written by Daniel Guyton, and directed by Scott Rousseau, the dark comedy kept us laughing and had surprising suspense. The acting is so good! The set design/costumes are so creative! Beware - Rated R for nudity! (He's gorgeous)" (Anonymous review, NextDoor App, 2017)

"Went to see #ThreeLadiesofOrpington last night at Onion Man Productions in Chamblee. GO SEE IT!!! Daniel Guyton has written a deliciously wacky script that is authentically brought to life by Tyler Buckingham, Sadye Elizabeth, and company. Perfectly directed by Scott Rousseau. (Mature Audiences Only)" (Jayson Werner Smith, actor: The Walking Dead, 2017)

"It's not often a play arrives in DeKalb County mixing laughs, wit, heart, axe murder, betrayal, a true interpretation of the Victorian era and provides opportunities to take the art of local theater to new heights... THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON proves to be an exception... One of [the play]'s main strengths is in its script. Guyton's ability to combine tragedy and comedy seems to come as second nature. Neither is lingered upon too heavily and audiences will find themselves both laughing and crying at the fortune and misfortune of the characters... THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON is a strange and wonderful addition to the realm of theater that arrives on cue for Halloween. The play captures the gothic, the Victorian, the familial tragedy and sardonic comedy of exam-ining an era in which there seemed to be little, if any benefactors. Both laugh-out-loud funny and tissue-worthy tragic, it's good to know plays like this are still being written and making their debut at local theaters such as Onion Man Productions." (R. Scott Belzer, The Dekalb County Chamption, 2017)

"It's always delightful when the last moment of a play ties up everything that's only been hinted at before. Daniel Guyton's THREE LADIES OF ORPINGTON is such a play. The final sound effect of a glass jar being shattered explains why window panes are broken to gain entry to a house and why a character appears wet on the driest of days. There's a supernatural element to it all that... all ties together with a satisfying spookiness. Amy Levin's sound design works quite well, with surround sound effects adding to the sense of impending dread in the material. Musical interludes cover the frequent set changes, with the music getting spookier and more insistent as the play proceeds... Nancye Hilley's costumes do a good job of setting the time period. This is a handsome production, including Chris Franken's props; fine makeup all around, particularly for Sadye Elizabeth and Lisa Gordon; fine blood effects in Tyler Buckingham's kinetic fight choreography; James Beck's charming lighting design, which includes an evocative fireplace effect; and Scott Rousseau's set that uses a minimum of set pieces to portray various locations within a house... The blocking is first-rate throughout... Overall, this is a terrific production that makes wonderful use of the tiny Onion Man stage and tells an intriguing tale audiences are lapping up."
