Press Reviews
"…eloquently dramatizes questions of responsibility, guilt and pathology…the complex moral issues are translated into challenging story theater, like a cubist portrait of grief…Homage must be paid, this grieving mother cries to the stars, and Medoff answers her prayers.

Medoff's pessimistic tone, common to much of his work, is countered with tiny celebrations of life, inner applause."
— Los Alamos Monitor
