Published Reviews

"The 'Far-Flung' packs the dippy, dizzy charms of a Beth Henley play."

Randy Gener, The Village Voice

"The small-town one-upmanship is reminiscent of E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia novels, and is nearly as funny."

William Stevenson, Back Stage

"Julie McKee's 'The Far-Flung' is not only well-written and theatrical but bracingly original."

Martin Gottfried, New York Law Journal

"Beautifully amusing."

Clive Barnes, New York Post
