REVIEWS:

"...transforms the stage into a well-oiled machine of actors reaching for noise-making props while portraying a nerve-shattering array of characters in varying states of fear, anxiety, panic and murder."

 Wendell Brock, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play is not the usual stage show -- it's better! It causes you to use your imagination instead of having every nuance of the performance laid out for you. What's more it's fun!"
