"A little gem of a comedy. Morogiello clearly knows his milieu. He even gives himself a glancing mention, as a persistent supplicant whose scripts Jim tosses straight in the trash. However, anyone who threw out Blame it on Beckett made a big mistake." - TheatreMania.com

Summary
Heidi Bishop is a wide-eyed dramaturgy intern, eager to better American drama.
