Dogsbreath Devereaux — funniest play EVER!  Main characters are all over-the-top.  Very easy to add/delete characters. Gwen Vargas, Waverly Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, PA


It was a hilariously unique melodrama, and the signed bedpan I received from my cast and crew as a director’s gift still hangs on my classroom wall!
