Press Reviews

"Packed with high-energy and mad comedy that rarely takes a breath until its side-splitting conclusion."
— Door County Advocate

"Produces big surprises that delight and astonish... a sort of Sopranos with laughing gas."
— Green Bay Gazette, Wisconsin

"Robin Hawdon’s comedy of mistaken identities, mobster men and numerous love triangles is a blissfully chaotic play where everything that could go wrong does!"
— ActOne (Brisbane, Australia)

"Robin Hawdon’s farce is filled with all of the things that farce lovers could wish for: false identities, people who are not what they first appear to be, people pretending to be other people, people hiding from others, confusion, mayhem and a huge bundle of laughs. A roller coaster of crazy events and mistaken identities that don't stop until the last side-splitting conclusion."
— Adelaide Review
