" This is some ingenious writing. The topic may be disturbing but your play will serve to remind us today of the twisted thinking of the Japanese military at that time. While the story may be based on old history, people today will find the story relevant. "
- Rachel Jackson, Producer

" Congratulations on writing a very powerful, beautiful, moving play! You have a really wonderful script... I would LOVE to see the final play! "
