Review :
Here is a bound collection of Beau O'Reilly's plays, but O'Reilly's imagination is unbounded-wise, funny, playful, exuberant, sharp, and consoling. Chicago is forever grateful for him. -Sara Levine author, Treasure Island! The point of so many of his plays, which laudably never turn characters into mere mouthpieces for their author, is that what we all need, first and foremost, is to be heard-whether our words hit like a flower or a stick. -Kerry Reid journalist/theater reviews, Chicago Reader
