"I recommend this play not as a history lesson, but to learn how and why Bonhoeffer is eternally placed amongst the Saints and Martyrs, such as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Westminster Abbey......." A. Skaggs
"It's a well-written and technically well-executed piece of theater that's been on Tossman's mind for many years, and though it's a break from the thoughtful comedies that he's penned in the past, it extends his interest in the areas of social justice and theology." M. Rosen
"I am quite impressed with Mr. Gregory's portrayal of Bonhoeffer, both as a person of strong conviction, but also as an orator. Much of his dialogue is rich in dogma and ecumenical belief of self and social equality." A. Skaggs
"....the lighting by Jesse Alford and sound by Klaus Schnieder add much to the atmospherics throughout the play." M. Rosen
"It's a play set in a small and static world - but the Bonhoeffer of this world is largely living in his mind. And at the center of the play, Bonhoeffer's interchanges with Heinrich (a character inspired by actual events) give Tossmann plenty of scope for exploring much of Bonhoeffer's theology." M. Rosen
"......Bonhoeffer received a letter from his friend Frank Fisher, a fellow seminarian whom he met while in America, who introduced him to the aforementioned Rev. Powell, which then segued into one of the most impassioned moments of the evening......let me say, I felt I had gone to chruch in that moment. It was as if Clydetyrone Harper was directly channeling Rev. Powell......" A Skaggs
"......Mr. Tossmann could very well take this production to other cities/theatres. It is a well thought out and riveting story of a man who tried to right the wrongs of humankind in the name of God and Social Justice......" A. Skaggs
