"If this was a normal world, we'd know what to do. I don't know if a set of rules exists for what we're living through..."

| Reviews |
Critics are saying:
- "Human drama doesn’t have to look huge to be heartbreaking...When the flood comes, it’s all the more likely to sweep you along." -- Elizabeth Maupin on Theater
- "...the thrill and catharsis of live theater, just like eavesdropping on someone else's life." -- Lindy T. Shepard, ORLANDO WEEKLY
- "Blazing acting and a spectacular set..." -- Carl F. Gauze, ARCHIKULTURE DIGEST
Audiences are saying:
- "The acting was beyond anything I expected. I was moved to tears not just once, but several times. I can't rave enough about this play and its gifted actors."
- "Shotgun was one of your all-time best! Excellent, touching, I loved it!"
- "The best play we've seen in the last 3 years."
