Reviews & Testimonials
“Crazy funny. I love zany Halloween tales, and this short piece fits the bill.
”
Jack Levine – Halloween Party (script review of a short play by playwright Garrett W. Martin)
“This play is an unexpected HOOT. It is a credit to Martin’s skills in timing and rhythm that though I read the synopsis and knew the drill, I was laughing out loud on the first page. Hired Hype is, simply, a delight, and big, clean humor can be a tough find these days. A crowd (and reader) pleaser, hands down.
