“Devine’s plays & screenplays speak forcefully and eloquently to contemporary audiences. We recognize his characters in ourselves–driven, edgy, and passionate, at once serious, humorous and moving. They take actors and audiences on a journey across an American landscape that is marked by today’s issues, and struggle together to change the course of each other’s lives. Penetrating work!”
Dean, College of Fine Arts at University of Montevallo
“Under It All” raises more questions than it answers, but is that what innovative theater is all about?”
Don Fowler – Cranston Herold
“Devine is at his best when he has two characters going head-to-head in verbal battle, relying on their imaginations and humor to provoke, inspire and even deceive each other.”
Don Fowler – Cranston Herold
“Two guys, one underground shelter, lots of good fun, and a rather cloudy message make up Daniel Devine’s new play”
