“ A half century ago, men of my generation who had low draft numbers faced choices that boiled down to "Vietnam or Canada." The twins in this play each choose differently and their whole family has to come to grips with the ramifications of those choices. Williams captures the atmosphere of the times and of small-town Midwest life perfectly and gives each twin his due in this wonderfully theatrical work. Highly recommended. ”

“ When critics say, "I don't mean to re-write your play," be assured that's just what they have in mind, in this case along with displaying their erudition, one-upping each other, and settling old scores. Theater people will recognize the "mileau" and general audiences will have fun with the hints Williams drops as to the play they're dissecting. (It takes place in North Africa during WWII. I'd be shocked--SHOCKED--if you didn't recognize it.) You must remember this, Williams's delightful "End of Play," next time you want an enjoyable read. ”

“ "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been.'" In this sweet little play, Williams deftly shows how one choice, one chance not taken, could have made all the difference in two young men`s lives. Very well done. ”

“ Blending families is never easy. Especially when they are a diverse tribe of Christians and Jews, African-Americans and Caucasians. More especially when Mom is determined to subject them to a "traditional" Christmas recreated from her own childhood. Scrooge-less, Grinch-less (mostly), and with a gentle lesson about the power of listening to one another, this play is a wonderful alternative for the holidays. Oh, and we discover why Santa, the real one, is obviously Jewish. Highly recommended. ”
