Reviews

Expertly constructed and limpidly written, the play triumphs in its presentation of Papaw, whose earthy wisdom McCarthy makes altogether credible.
*Chicago Tribune*

Mr McCarthy has the best kind of Southern style, one that fuses risky eloquence, intricate rhythms and dead-to-rights accuracy.
*New York Times*

McCarthy is a born storyteller, a writer of natural, impeccable dialogue, a literary child of Faulkner.
