Press Quotes
“Western Union has arrived with messages sent from the 1930s when all was not well with the world. ENVOI MESSAGES sends clear messages of both desperation and optimism. The play is a tight knit story about messages and how they affect both the people who receive them and those that must deliver the news, good or bad.” —Roberta Seabury, Contra Costa Times
“… the problem with Louis Phillips is that he is an obscure poet and brilliant playwright. In most ordinary people, one or the other of these blessings is possible — not both …” —Stanley Kramer, from foreword to the play
