WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING…

  • "The Rewards of Being Frank...is a delightful and much needed escape from our late winter doldrums. Shed your preoccupations, put down the phone, tear up your ‘to do’ list and come enjoy the farce....the overall effect is one of delight."

  • "The Rewards of Being Frank...is an affectionate, clever and faithful sequel....Scovell replicates Wilde’s characters, milieu and sensibility, with skillfulness, brio and novelty. The dizzying second act finale is right out of Wilde’s playbook....[FRANK] is a welcome and frothy diversion."

  • "Any fan of Oscar Wilde’s 1895 'trivial comedy for serious people' – and who isn’t one? – will appreciate what Scovell’s accomplished in FRANK.... Anyone writing for Lady Bracknell had best have some good quips ready to go. Scovell does so well that one may believe that she’s Wilde reincarnated."

  • "One wonders why nobody has previously sought to write [an EARNEST] sequel. After all, there is a ready-made audience and a series of beloved characters waiting to be mined for laughs. That has changed thanks to Alice Scovell..."

  • "Written by new playwright Alice Scovell, this witty and sophisticated show premiered this week at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, before it moves onto Off Broadway. The script is well constructed, clever and one Wilde would have enjoyed.....The show is silly, charming, and full of laughs as it exceeds expectations of a sequel."
