“Lanford Wilson’s remarkable new play. It’s a smart, boldly constructed show, in which Wilson’s wit and emotional generosity give blood to his cerebral concerns. Perfectly, shockingly staged. William Galinsky’s production confers a vivid sense of time and place on the events, while the cast are fabulous. Fascinating.” Dominic Maxwell, Time Out
