"Any production company would be happy to have this play as their choice for the Festival!--J.G.B.
" Greg Hatfield has written a delicious homage to Noel Coward. Amanda and Edward are conflicted ex-spouses searching for a way forward. - Jason Grant

"As someone who is frequently inspired by the positivity in my relationship, I couldn't help but feel for Amanda and Edwards as their ability to create seems to elude them. As the story continues, the two of them draw more people into their complicated life and as I read I found myself leaning forward with curiosity to know how the story would unwind itself. Without giving too much away, Greg expertly unwinds the story with wonderfully witty dialogue exchanged between wonderfully created characters. Its a story creatives will relate to and brilliantly put together." - Rachel Feeny-Williams:

Amanda and Edward are two successful divorced theater people in this one-act comedy who can’t seem to find their next project. Edward, who is a playwright, is in a “fallow period”, while Amanda doesn’t want to commit to anything for fear of failing. This leads to excessive bickering between them while they try to find a solution.

The Cabot Comedies: Four One Act Plays featuring the First Family of American Theatre

Published by Next Stage Press

"Effective" "Clearly a lot of thought and care (were) put into each of these individual characters"

"Hatfield presents a compact historical fiction, an American theater dynasty. It's a charming portrait of "the life" and the sacrifices folks made to live it.”

This play includes four one-act plays all featuring the Cabot family, a Barrymore type theatrical dynasty family. Beginning in 1926 with Four Sisters in Repertory, when young Virginia Fleming and her sisters are performing the classics in what was called “tent shows” throughout the country. There, Virginia meets Charles Cabot, himself part of a family of actors, who comes to impact Virginia’s life.

The next stage in the Cabots’ story takes place in 1950, in Henry Irving's Script is Missing, when John Charles Cabot, Virginia’s son and acclaimed actor in his own right, discovers a valued treasure is missing and goes to seek retribution. He is aided by his mother, his sister, Veronica, (who is just beginning her acting career) and her friend.

That next year, Jack finds himself at a casting call at MGM, in The Janus Circle, with two other actors up for the same part, who can match his own egotistical level of talent.

Finally, Jack, Veronica, and their youngest brother, Monty gather for the funeral of the world’s greatest Shakespearean actor, in The Great Stalinski, and reflect on their own mortality and fame.
