    Pure fun, with lots of charm and tons of creative potential when it comes to how the production chooses to portray the animal characters. It's sure to delight actors and audiences alike!

    Prillaman hits a home run once again with this unique, imaginative, and fun romantic comedy! Daniel Prillaman has a knack for outrageous comedy with peculiar characters that make the plays very entertaining and memorable; and this play is no exception! I hope Nora’s outburst makes you laugh out loud as much as I did when I read it!

    What a hoot! The animals guiding Nora and Patrick are full of pragmatic, if somewhat lewd, advice. These are not your typical saccharine fairy tale woodland creatures which is what makes this play so riotously funny. A treat for actors, designers, and audiences alike.
