What critics are saying about Aldyth Morris' Damien

"Ms. Morris touches upon the essence of a strangely haunted, passionate, fascinating man. She beautifully captures a religious experience, making it thoroughly convincing." - The New York Times

"Goodness is almost impossible to describe... Damien, however, is an exception of rare beauty. It succeeds as a work of religious art, a category in which there have been countless entries but very few prizes." - America

"The play is an eloquent and passionate work of theatre. Ms. Morris once said that writing the story of Father Damien was for her 'a personal confrontation with a saint.' Watching it one feels the same." - Los Angeles Times

It seems clear that the play has an assured future in the literature of the theatre, because Morris' work is an exquisite blend of passion and history set forth with fascinating dramatic integrity. - Honolulu Star Bulletin
