REVIEWS
Very funny stuff. I liked your 'interpretation' of Prince Phillip. The
bit where he was shouting 'Die das boot' had me in stitches. What a great
idea. It made me laugh and it had some killer lines. (M.B)
Love that queenie
sleeps clutching her purse. The narration has this 1950 everything's perfect
if you own a new refrigerator tone -- like it. LOVE the queen mowing the
lawn, purse in hand. (L.E.T)
I LOVE IT!
I wish it didn't have to end. The format is perfect. The structure is
tight with three acts. The characters are wonderful. The comedy was hilarious.
Extremely visual, concise and quick. You did an exceptional job. (J.J.)
