• “CRITIC'S PICK. THOUGHTFUL AND ENGROSSING. Smart, natural, sparkling dialogue by Tanya Barfield, incisively directed by Leigh Silverman. Kerry Butler gives a nuanced and affecting performance. ”

  — Charles Isherwood, New York Times

• “TOUCHING, INTELLIGENT, TART and GROUNDED. Eisa Davis is simmering and sharp. Kelly AuCoin is innately charming. Russell G. Jones is wonderfully moving. Crystal A. Dickinson is fiercely funny. ”

• “RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES. A fine production. ”
