“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
“This is Fringe Theatre that ought to be central to any serious playgoers attention.” Timothy Ramsden, Reviewsgate
“William Galinsky’s engagingly acted production.” Paul Taylor, The Independent
“An intellectual and philosophically challenging piece. The entire cast brings the thought-provoking issues to the audience with heartfelt conviction. The entire production is slick and for once a pleasure to listen to convincing accents from all!” Robert Speight, The Stage
“Emotionally honest, wittily written, intellectually challenging, and in William Galinsky’s unflashy, occasionally inspired and brilliantly acted production, a profoundly moving experience. A truly great play.” Joe McCallum, What’s On
