PRESS QUOTES

“… a cowboy story with plenty of laughs, but also with moments that are touchingly tender and thoughtful.”

-Detroit Monitor

“Working economically and with a richness of character reminiscent of short stories by Elmore Leonard, Daniels fashions a play that is at once moving and bizarrely funny.”

-Detroit Free Press
