    Zaffarano crafts a winning laugh-out-loud comedy with heart in TURKEY BABY. The mother-daughter relationship feels real and relatable. The concept is over the top funny. This is a wonderful short play that will do well in festivals. It brings a smile.

    It’s Thanksgiving time and who could resist a play called “Turkey Baby?” This two-character, one-act play is funny, contemporary, and well-crafted. The mother/daughter relationship rings true, and the dialogue is realistic and fast-paced. I would love to see this staged.

    Lovely and funny two-hander for an audience that won't be expecting the honest delights, insights, and laughs it delivers. If you're still looking for a short comedy for the holidays, this may well be it.
