Reviews

[Mark Valentine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sparkling comedy of wit and romance that has the ending that everyone deserves but doesn't want. Unless. I loved the wittiness in the dialogue, the characters, and the charm. This is definitely a play about the South even though it is set in southern France. It would be a great play to see staged.
