"A torrent of merriment ... heavy with excitement, crackles with repartee, rings the bell with epigrams, and detonates depth charges of laughter ... Converts the theatre into a discotheque of explosive delight with enough riotous surprises to supply another mystery dramatist with a trunkful of plays" ~ New York Magazine
