“If you’re going to write a satire about the movie business at this very late date, it had better be very, very funny. In the case of FOUR DOGS AND A BONE…that criterion is most abundantly met.” —The New York Times.

“…FOUR DOGS AND A BONE [is] the funniest play in town, and the neatest, if kinda affectionate, evisceration of that ol’ dream factory you will encounter in years.” —New York Post.
