From the Players Club Performance in New York City:
“Karen’s performance as Jane Austen was sublime
and I wish her huge success in this new piece! Very exciting! I went home
and dug out my complete anthology of Jane Austen to reread after spending
an evening in her lovely, witty company!”

“A spy, a veteran of debtor’s prison, a loose woman – Behn was all of these and more, and Eterovich not only conveys what made her vividly alive when she lived, but what keeps her alive now that she’s gone.” Leonard Jacobs, © 2002

The Scotsman
“Eterovich’s Aphra is classier…we get something
of her fiery relationship with lover John Hoyle, and the pathos of her
stay in Guiana amid indigenous American and Black Slaves which evoked
her noble savage novel Oroonoko.…a vivacious,
informative, enjoyable entertainment…” Sara O’Sullivan, © 1997

The British Theatre Guide
“…a fascinating and informative piece…a polished jewel.”

“Deborah Wright Houston as Feste the clown and Karen Eterovich as Fabienne (not Fabian) are wonderfully funny.” D.J.R. Bruckner, © 1995
