Salad
Days - Review
"His
writing is dense, deliciously bitchy and packed with literary
and pop culture allusions. Although the audience is aimed
primarily at a gay audience, anyone who has been in a long
term relationship - particularly one in which one partnr
holds the balance of economic or sexual power - can appreciate
the humor and tragedy of Bateman's revelations."

Barbara Crook, Vancouver Sun
"Salad Days is a clearly constructed one act play for one
flamboyant, Charles Buschesque actor.... [Bateman] can blithely
spin off a Tennessee Williams-like speech using polysyllabic
words and a feather boa in a Vivien Leigh riff that is absolutely
breathtaking in its screwball logic."
- Ambush Magazine, New Orleans
