Born Yesterday, Charleston Stage Company Review
“This play is about political scandal, but it is not a sex scandal like Cliniton’s. … And it’s not a cynical and clever ’90’s script like Hollywood’s three products of ’98. No, thankfully, it’s a play written in the ’40’s when there was still idealism and right and wrong in this country.”
