“I chose this play as my one-act and LOVED it! From the first time I read it, I instantly fell in love with the comedic aspects brought into a court-room setting. It was the perfect comedy; it had a great story line, fantastic character development, and an easy set. I rate this play very highly and definitely recommend it as a play choice.”
