Press Reviews
"A sequel to this author's renowned success When You Comin' Back Red Ryder? Uniquely constructed, the play is comprised of two related acts, either of which can be presented effectively by itself. ”Like the original play, the sequel is a psychological melodrama in which Stephen's fighting spirit is severely tested and found wanting.“ —The New York Times. ”…constantly engrossing…Medoff gives their dialogue an idiosyncratic eloquence."
