"Actor and writer, spins a deceptively simple, piercingly political
and ultimately captivating autobiographical tale of a woman whose neighbors
blame every illness in the neighborhood--even a cat's--on her secondhand
smoke" Jaime Meyer, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE, 8/8/2001

Sara DeWitt gives the kind of strong even performance that is a direct result
of years spent developing a comfortable almost neighborly relationship with
a stage and audience. Her performance as a woman being forced by her overly
politically correct homogenized liberal Berkeley neighborhood to quit smoking
is nothing short of wonderful. She unfolds this anticode with humor, sensitivity
and even romance. The two moments that tie for my favorite are her finding
a man in an exquisit red silk tie whom she finds herself in love with through
the most unusual but casual series of event and the story of the two cigarettes
that are spent as weapons of war. It is a beautiful story executed with
astonishing precision and intimacy.

FEST'S 'LAST SMOKER' IS SIMPLY CAPTIVATING: Actor and writer Sara DeWitt,
spins a deceptively simple, piercingly political and ultimately captivating
tale of a woman whose neighbors blame every illness in the neighborhood
on
her second hand smoke. MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE, August 8, 2001
Play: Last Smoker in Berkeley
Within minutes, we see that this woman is all about life, with or without
cigarettes. Sara DeWitt gives a smart, spunky and sensitive performance
in
this funny, one-woman show. ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, August 8, 2001
