Published Reviews

"I've read several of Don Zolidis' plays now, and I think Game of Tiaras is easily his best work to date. The writing is on a completely differently level of intelligence, humor and complexity than anything he's written before -- and that's saying something. It's a transcendent piece in his already acclaimed canon, and one of those scripts that you can't help but laugh out loud while reading. I highly recommend it."
