“TEN CHIMNEYS imagines the offstage life of the stars…as a combination of theatrical boot camp and backstage soap opera. Mr. Hatcher provides generous doses of arch quipping in the Coward mold. Mr. Hatcher’s affection for the Lunts and the golden age of American theater shines throughout.” —The New York Times.
“TEN CHIMNEYS is charming, frothy…achieving an air of glittering lightness reminiscent of Noel Coward. The witticisms fly like darts.” —Associated Press.
“Jeffrey Hatcher’s enjoyable comedy…glows with an affectionate warmth for the fabled life and stage partners.” —New York Daily News.
“TEN CHIMNEYS is a revealing look at Lunt-Fontanne home life. I’d move in tomorrow. A must-vist.” —Backstage
“A stirring reminder of why theater matters.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“Jeffrey Hatcher’s layer cake of a script is an engrossing romp that reveals delicious trade secrets of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
“TEN CHIMNEYS is irresistible.” —Talkin’ Broadway
“TEN CHIMNEYS is
The Seagull with a Cowardly touch. The play combines the charm and wit of Coward’s frothy hits during the 1930s and '40s, with the complexity and intensity of
The Seagull. Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher deserves some sort of reward for this delicious script. Hatcher’s script is smart and funny. It no doubt will have…a good life indeed.” —Arizona Daily Star.
