"Play Reviews" Several reviews and write-ups for this play can be found at: www.danguyton.com/Press.html. Highlights include: "The Mother of God Visits Hell by Daniel Guyton... is tightly structured with an amazing premise... The story captivates you, it has a premise that is delectable to the nth degree..." (What the Butler Saw theatre website); and "The Mother of God Visits Hell has my strongest recommendation. It holds out the hope that American playwrights will move above realism. What's more, Mr. Guyton's talents as a poet and a dramatist are stellar, and the script is a model for other dramatists." (Steve Capra, producer for the Living Theatre in NYC)
