From the Heart Reviews
Chicago Theatre Review- Recommended
"...As the director of a new play, Ms. Mattaini is able to do only so much with the script she’s given. Tighter pacing, less grandstanding and more honesty from some of her actors, however, would help a great deal. However, this holiday production would really profit most from fewer scenes spent with the caustic, contemporary family and more time devoted to the literary characters and the wonderful stories they inhabit. Playgoers would much prefer to enjoy and savor the timeless words and thoughts created by two timeless writers. This is, after all, the heart of this play; everything else is just fluff."
