Press Reviews

"From two novels by Henry Adams, and the administration of Ulysses S. Grant. This skillfully theatrical adaptation mixes Adams' tales of love and ambition in Washington with scandals from the Grant administration in a manner at once sardonic, knowing, yet affectionate. “…the play abounds with laugh-provoking observations.” —Milwaukee Sentinel. “…a thoughtful piece built solidly on history…” —Richmond Times-Dispatch. “…as timely as the headlines coming from Washington these days."
— Richmond News Leader
