"...If that is the case then then I would like to inform you that customizations are no supported by Eloqua support, and you will need to approach your CSM to check if they can reach a professional services team from Oracle."

"...For a drama centered on the intense relationship between one the world's most dazzling wordsmiths and a show-stopping athlete of almost otherworldly grace and physical prowess, "Shaw vs. Tunney" is an often ponderously static piece."
Chicago Reader - Recommended
"...There's a whiff of hagiography here, as one might expect given the source material (Jay Tunney and Gene's granddaughter Teressa are also executive producers), but Shaw vs. Tunney finally delivers as a keenly felt portrait of a seemingly unlikely friendship between two men (and one supportive woman whose role could be beefed up) who both saw in each other a vision of what a different path in life might have looked like, and loved and respected each other deeply."

"...What makes this play as powerful as it is, is the performances of the three actors portraying the title characters and of course, Tunney's wife, Polly ( an incredible performance by Maddie Sachs). Sam Pearson is dynamic as the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Gene Tunny. I was very impressed with the magical performance of Richard Henzel as George Bernard Shaw. His playfulness made this playwright real and the two men working together were perfect in showing the relationship that grew between these men from two different worlds."
Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended
"...Grippo Stage Company’s new World Premiere production is a knockout event in two acts. Douglas Post’s play is based upon Jay R. Tunney’s highly-acclaimed book detailing his father, Gene Tunney’s, inspiring and unexpected friendship with Nobel Prize-winning playwright, George Bernard Shaw. And although the play will appeal to history aficionados, fans of prizefighting, as well as devotees of Mr. Shaw’s works, everyone will find the story of this odd couple compelling, often funny and ultimately heartwarming."
Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended
"...Fine acting can sometimes save a mediocre script. But pair fine acting with a fascinating story such as the curious friendship between two champions-and you might have theater magic. The script for Shaw vs. Tunney, now on stage in a world premiere by Grippo Stage Company, delivers on all levels with sharp, insightful dialogue and insights into the personalities of the two principals: Legendary Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and champion prizefighter Gene Tunney."

"...Yes, it was very unlikely. It's also quite profound, this unique relationship that is the bedrock of "SHAW vs. TUNNEY," the fascinating new play by Douglas Post, that's now playing at Theater Wit through July 8. Mr. Post based his play on the unique biography "The Prizefighter and the Playwright" by Jay R. Tunney, the son of former heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. It's a challenging, thick work of great research and layered emotion, as time passes, beginning in the spring of 1928. And it entails some explanation."
Life and Times - Highly Recommended
"...Written by Douglas Post, Shaw vs Tunney introduces audiences to the deep and enduring unexpected friendship between the two great men in a three-person, two act drama that enlightens, educates, and entertains to great effect."
