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
