"A twisty dark comedy about ambition and ruthlessness, with a fancifully elaborate Hitch-cockian revenge plot up its sleeve.” —Variety. “Schemes, double crosses, literary ambitions and cool, calculating manipulation: MANUSCRIPT is like Deathtrap for the prep school set…enough plot twists to keep the audience guessing and engrossed.” —Newsday (NY). “A wonderfully entertaining comedy filled with crisp, witty dialogue…never misses a beat…the characters exchange one zinger after another while plotting their deception.” —Associated Press. “Hip, witty and wholly unpredictable.” —Time Out New York. “About fairness, truth, and the evils of plagiarism…has much to say about the absurd things people will do to make it in the cutthroat world of publishing…delivers true, Hitchcock–style, edge-of-your-seat suspense…a theme-park thrill ride that goes through a maze of twists and bracing turns…many will exit the theater feeling exhilarated."
