Nominated for the 2004 Denver Post Ovation Awards. Best New Work, Best Actress and Best

Supporting Actress. WINNER – Paige Lynn Larson for Best Supporting Actress.

“…nothing in Newton's adaptation allows for easy answers or blanket condemnations. His work is a

profound argument for a humanistic approach to treating psychosis.” (John Moore - The Denver Post).

“…the dramatic arc is a compelling mix of personal, familial and professional themes that represents

the actual events in a way the 1977 film does not. Newton's coup de grace, a multilayered denouement

in which the fortunes of Deborah and Dr. Fried reverse, is an especially imaginative piece of writing.”

(Bob Bows - Variety Magazine)

“Walter L. Newton and the Miners Alley Playhouse have brought forth a wonderful play with staying

power for years to come.” (Gary Zeidner - The Boulder Weekly)
