"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" by Aurin Squire

“To Whom It May Concern is an engaging and provocative new drama that allows us to walk in some other fellows' shoes for a couple of hours, yielding significant insights along the way.”

“The primary delight of the evening is the script itself. Squire brilliantly employs the epistolary device to tell a story about the perils of unconventional intimacy. The setup is so well executed that by the time they meet face to face, the audience is enthralled.”

—Showbusiness Weekly

Many of Squire's plays have received enthusiastic reviews and revivals, among them To Whom it May Concern, which ran off-Broadway in 2009, Match Me, produced by the New York International Fringe Festival in 2005. His writing has been called "a true gem that deserves to be set apart from the rest" by The Drama Review, "brilliant" and "thoroughly entertaining" by Show Business Weekly, and "engaging and provocative" by critic Martin Denton.
