Set in a small Texas town in anytime, U.S.A., Dyin’ concerns the reunion of a family gathered to await the imminent death of their patriarch, who has recently suffered a physically as well as mentally disabling stroke. In essence, however, it is not the story of the impending demise of the father or of the drafting of his will, but of a rebirth of the spirit of the family unit. Without becoming ponderous, losing a sense of humor or pandering to timeworn cliches about Texans or Texas drawls, the story … shares many elements of a good summer novel: it’s a fast, delicious, easy read with funny moments, tense moments, touching moments, and characters you care about.” Hollywood Reporter.

“A masterful comedy.” Variety.

“One funny play.” Tolucan Canyon Crier and Magnolian.

“A well written piece of mainstream theatre that’s consistently funny and occasionally touching.” L.A. Times.

“A knockout.” L.A. Weekly.
