Press Reviews

"Once again the author is concerned with the mythic element in American life, this time centering on the dramatic events which may, or may not, have marked the final days in the life of the legendary Wild Bill Hickok. “Thomas Babe is one of the most imaginative and indigenous of young American playwrights.” —The New York Times. “…a play of remarkable evocation and feeling.” —New York Post. ”It's a classic situation combined with a classic tale of the Old West, which results in a fresh view of the American dream-versus-reality. It is also a highly theatrical work in which Babe displays a magnificent sense of language and a keen talent for character."
