“It may take a certain attitude to love Burning Habits: a childlike glee in seeing authority figures ridiculed; a thorough distaste for sexual hypocrisy and a strong aversion to organized religion. But if you have those, you will get a major kick out of ''Burning Habits.''

“The best pieces in Happy Endings are comic, beginning with the first, “Beauty,” Blair Fell’s ode to longing with a Proustian punch line. “True beauty lies not in actual life, but in memory,” says the Voyeur (David Johnston), who spends his time ogling a hilariously desultory “erotic” dancer (Joe Curnutte), dressed in white knee socks and red gym-class shorts.”

“Fell brilliantly proves the secret pan sexual world of classic literature … Shall I compare thee to Shakespeare in Love. If Shakespeare in Love is the moon, Naked Will is the sun. This production shines.”

“Fell brilliantly applies his ‘treatment’ to produce an expansive, funny yet surprisingly intelligent and complete staging of the [Shakespeare] debate.”
