Press Reviews
"Based on the true story of the quiz show scandal of the 1950s, fantasy and reality blend to tell the story of television's loss of innocence and the high cost of fame. “…Feffer has captured the emotional force of that frightened moment when an entire country realized it was being fooled into caring about an extended commercial for Geritol.” —Philadelphia City Paper. “Feffer finds media morality play and brittle tragicomedy in [THE WIZARDS OF QUIZ], telling a good stage yarn without heavy reliance on documentary crutches."
