This lovely gem of a play is a throwback to the 30's with a lot of heart. What a fun journey flying and then ultimately landing with "love conquers all". But I must say... Mittens is going to need hazard pay!

I got to see a reading of this at the Valdez Theatre Conference and was absolutely delighted. It's a classic screwball comedy with modern sensibilities. I just love how Gill's script allows the actors to cut loose and have fun with it. Highly recommended!

06.17.25 - The word "zany" comes to mind here, as David Adam Gill gives us a family drama with cat-tossing, gee-whizzing and will-codicilling (yes, I just made up that word). The audience at the Valdez Theatre Conference got to watch the fun unfold with a reading that killed. This over-the-top 30's style has dialogue that snap, crackles and pops off the page, soap-opera family intrigue and a stuffed cat treated as the real deal. GIll's play absolutely delights.
