“I have been a friend of Ron Destro for some time, and can confirm his great gifts as a writer, director and educator. His research on this controversial subject is as extensive as his knowledge is broad.” - Michael York

“Dear Ron... I’ll spare you the details, but Bill [Shakespeare] deeply resents your insinuations. However, carry on. It’s great to have a passion of any kind. Best,” - Charles Grodin

"... preposterous, snobbish and bizarre..... Sorry if this appears rude, but it would be dishonest of me to write any other response to your kind and welcoming letter." - Stephen Fry
