Reviews

'A very clever, cautionary play-with-epilogue about becoming the medium for what we watch on television and being what we consume ... a magnificent play.' -- Calgary Herald 'Hines is nothing, if not an original.' -- Globe and Mail 'Some scenes in [Drama] are so electric that, if this were television instead of stage, you'd want to grab your remote and rewind so you could enjoy them instantly again.' -- Calgary Sun 'A funny, thought-provoking and devastating look at the lunacy and hypocrisy that we've all learned to live with in late 20th century America.' -- Rocky Mountain News (on The Pochsy Plays) 'Ingenious, acidic comedy.' -- Globe and Mail (on The Pochsy Plays)
