Reviews
  • “The gifted Melissa James Gibson puts amusingly off-kilter exchanges in the mouths of her everyday characters with convincing grace. Carrie Coon and William Jackson Harper are excellent. Ms. Coon brings a touching, forlorn quality to her performance.”

    — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
  • “Smart, droll, beautifully observed, and beautifully performed.”

  • “Director Daniel Aukin’s work is sterling. Carrie Coon is incandescent. William Jackson Harper, Alex Hurt, and Florencia Lozano are terrific!”
