    So funny, bright,fresh and amazing. This play has been stuck in my subconcious ever since I read it.

    Beautiful, haunting, interesting narrative structure. This play reminded me a bit of the melancholic and mournful tone of "Spoon River Anthology."

    I saw a reading of this at Bennington College where it was a finalist in our college wide playwriting contest, and was thrilled by Margot's humor, intellect and intriguing Houdini fantasy world. This one act has so much delicious mystery and intriguing and flawed characters! Margot is a real up and comer!

    Daniel is so so so funny! I saw this play at the last Frontier Conference fringe festival and we were all laughing way too hard. The way Daniel can poke fun at current technology and how it affects romantic relationship is spot on! If you are doing a one act fest, this one is sure to get people excited!

    This is a fun, irreverent little play with lots of bite! Glover's use of language is intriguing and unique and the ending left me a little heartbroken. The play really gets at the hopes we put into having the ideal family and what happens when it can never really measure up.

    As a playwright, Andrea is an exciting, sassy new female voice. There's an ease and sexiness to her language that makes you kinda embarrassed and kinda want to party.
    I know Andrea because she acted in a play I did at the Last Frontier Theater Conference and was way too funny to exist, and her fluidity with comedy translates into her playwright's voice. Read this play, it will be a fun time!

    This play is a bit of old fashioned trashy fun! I have never before read a short play about people trying to negotiate a dinosaur exhibit, and that is sad! Ms. Bowden has a natural knack for humor and language which is shown through her two larger than life characters, Barnum Brown and Murdock. this play shows just how far people will go to get a good deal.

    This play is a unique/thrilling super-hero friendly love story between a father and a daughter. Ms. Bowden is a playwright who is not afraid to be completely herself and write stories imbued with humor,pain and geek chic references!

    I was part of the same play fest at Dark horse Dramatists that featured this play; and it's crazy crazy funny. Daniel has such a unique,farce friendly voice and this play makes fun of ego in such a fresh and over the top way.
