REVIEWS:

"Dragon Play is a low-key, thoughtful and exquisitely evocative piece of theater."

 Rick Pender, CityBeat

"...starkly haunting and richly rewarding...Davis has invested her play with both the delicacy and brutality you'd expect of great literature. Magnificent to behold."

 Orange County Register

"It's a lovely piece of work: funny and heartbreaking, lyrical without being the least bit abstruse, its timeless fairytale roots remaining grounded in the present day... It's bittersweet, clever,sexy and ultimately breathtakingly beautiful and disturbing at the same time."

 Sam Hurwitt, KQED (Impact Theatre Production, Berkeley CA, 2014)
