Press Reviews
"THE MOMENT WHEN is about life's odd twists and turns, roads taken and not taken, connections lost and found. In its quiet way, it makes major demands on both actors and audiences. In structure, scope and style, THE MOMENT WHEN may remind you of two British imports Closer and Amy's View, but there is nothing derivative about its immense wit and insight and sensitivity. Lapine may never have written anything finer than this play's final monologue about the mysterious impulses that can unite or alienate us."
