Reviews
"Fenton's quirky sense of humor, his spot-on timing and pace, and his ability to understand what an audience likes have made
The Thousand-Year Rose my favorite play."

"Behind the dark comedy..., and indeed Fenton has quite the sense of humor and I found myself laughing out loud multiple times, lies an enduring message."
