←Recommendations of Goddess Of The Hunt

Sometimes you read a play and think - 'How does the writer do that? How does someone create such a plot/characters etc.' This is a constant wonder with Doug DeVita's work. This madcap play has more packed into it than a bursting suitcase. With his trademark skill at characterisation and plot twists, DeVita achieves his aim of entertaining and stopping you in your tracks. Wonderful roles, sparkling dialogue and a cracking plot - what more do you want?

A fun and intriguing mystery with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. And, in the heart of it, a very real search for love. Would love to see this play staged!

Reading this felt a bit like first time viewing one of the more delightfully insane movies I've ever seen, "So I Married an Axe Murderer." I giggled. I went wide-eyed at moments of comedy and at moments of shocking thrillery goodness. I'm quite happy to have read this amazing work. Three cheers for Doug DeVita. This show is lovely in so many ways. I can't wait to read more of DeVita's works.

Witty, fast-paced, and, oh, so dark. Doug DeVita gives us a pair of really twisted antagonists, a sympathetic mark, and a plot that’s twists and turns its way to one reveal after another. Goddess of the Hunt is scary. It’s touching. And it’s highly entertaining. Bravo!

Oh my gosh, what a fun play! I especially loved the way Facebook posts were incorporated in between scenes and slowly discovering how characters were connected to each other as the play unfolded. I would also love a spinoff play about Ed and the cast of "Crazy for Abe" (a Sondheim musical about the Lincolns) because I smiled every time Ed talked about the show he was in. So much fun! And there's murder, too!

If you're looking for a play that has that classic Doug DeVita wit, intriguing characters, biting dialogue, and the perfect blend of 21st century romance and murder, Goddess Of The Hunt is the one. Everything about this script is well thought-out while still being unexpected for the reader. I especially love the social media elements which never detract from the actors but make their decisions all the more engaging. I won't spoil anything but producers should most definitely get this piece off the page and onto the stage.

Romance! Intrigue! Murder?! This epic play has it all! I love the social media aspect of the story, as I am always suspicious of over-sharers, myself. Now, I'm even MORE suspicious! The characters are all so very likable, even when they are doing horrible things. DeVita really draws the audience in with the twists and turns into an edge of your seat climax. Absolutely delightful! Great to read, and I bet it would be exciting to watch, fun to design and a dream to perform!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this sparkling play. The laughs begin when reading the cast list, and the zingers just keep coming. But layers are added cleverly, and what initially appears light becomes much darker, as the naive but very likable aging hero is ensnared by characters both ruthless and revolting, whilst also highly amusing. By the midway point I was enjoying the devilish plot twists and thriller touches every bit as much as a comedy. This witty and incisive script would be delight to see in production.

Buckle up, you will be taken on an adventure of romance, love-lost and love-gained, life changes, murders or not, intrigue, and some real witty dialogue. Each character in the play comes to life in a vivid story, which will keep your attention throughout. Twists and turns, surprises, and much more make this marvelous work of extraordinaire playwright DOUG DIVITA a winner. Such a good play!

The dark wit that DeVita uses shocks the reader out of their sweet comfort of what comes as a love story at first glance. This piece takes tons of turns and keeps you guessing while willfully engaged. I worry about writing too much and spoiling some of the fun DeVita has in store. A great read for when you want to indulge in some laugher!
