"By far the most entertaining night of theater I have seen at the Alley [Theater]... BEDFORD'S STY ... brought the classic Vincent Price films to mind... It explores the hell we create for ourselves. This play has taken elements of comedy and thrown in moments of psychological thrills and created a piece that culminates not only the collection of plays within "Bits and Pieces" but also the entire Inhuman Festival occurring at the Alley Theater." (Kate Barry, Arts-Louisville.com , 2013)
"By turns twisted, surreal, cruel and hysterical, Guyton pulls out all the stops to craft a bizarre, fourth wall-breaking tale that came from the simplest origins." (Todd Ziegler, AlleyTheatre. wordpress.com , 2013
" BEDFORD'S STY by Daniel Guyton closed out the evening. Bedford's father has died and left his 4-year-old child into the care of Lucas, a sadistic money-grubbing cousin who, in fact, murdered Bedford's father. Meanwhile, the father has turned into the living room, yes, the living room. The first time he/it talks to Bedford, Bedford -- who is played by a rather large actor -- is so startled that he makes an amazingly high and graceful leap over a piece of furniture. The fourth wall is broken several times with good effect in this play, and there are wonderful surprises involving Bedford's toys and later, arsenic." (Nancy Gall-Clayton, Playwright's Binge, 2013)
"Thank you for the privilege to work on BEDFORD'S STY ... At first I was a little leery , but it is fast becoming a favorite." (Dawn hipley, Third Eye Theatre, 2012)
"Cream of the crop - imaginative, macabre, exciting!" (Todd Zeigler, Alley Theatre, 2013)
" BEDFORD'S STY by Daniel Guyton is a thriller about what happens when Bedford, a disabled man, and his caregiver... realize the past while cleaning his room." (Cosette Brown, Third Eye Theatre, 2012)
"Jack [Wells] is one of the most talented actresses I have ever watched. She did such a great job as Bedford in " BEDFORD'S STY " in Grand Guignol 4: Psychosis!" (Heather Stueck, Third Eye Theatre, 2012)
