"After a round of spontaneous ovation, the audience then clapped thunderously in unison and rushed to performers…" - Nell Nolan, Metro News, The Times-Picayune "There's an air of Tennessee Williams in O'Neill's writing with its strong focus on things Southern, colorful characters, family infighting, down-to-earth feelings and a strong sense of Southern values… This is a superb story, one that is well crafted by the author and one that captures you through the excellent work of the storytellers on stage." - John Perkins, The Slidell Sentry-News, Slidell, La.
