Read what people are saying about the work of Robert Cole:
Songs of the Valley: Selected Plays of Robert Cole features "stories of people inadequately prepared for the world. Each offers its protagonists the opportunity to take a leadership role in their lives. Some succeed, others fail, some fail to try. All portray humanity at its most beautiful: fragile, finite, and shared."
- Penn Genthner, theatre director, Grants Manager/Archivist, Pasadena Playhouse
"Moving and powerful."
- Lee Eric Shackleford, Ruby Lloyd Apsey Award-winning playwright, Playwright-in-Residence at the University of Alabama at Birmingham
"Mixes the heady idealism of Tennessee Williams with a Sam Shepard-level of stark despair."
- Barrett Hathcock, Birmingham Weekly
"[He]...speaks with a voice of the South that I've never heard before...complex and rich and rife with beauty."
-Eric Young, former Artistic Director of The Next Stage
