Greetings,
I have just come home from a brilliant performance at the Hickory Corner Library in East Windsor. It was just stunning. I was riveted the entire time, it was so real. I had told all of my friends to come and they missed out on an amazing hour of live performance. They will be truly sorry when they hear all that I have to say about this play.
Thank you so very much for this experience. Please thank both Mr. Worsdale and Mr. Dyne for their wonderful portrayal of these two popular writers. I was so spell bound I had a hard time asking any questions and once I came home my head was full of them.

Sincerely Yours,
Julie A. Ely
