Press Reviews

"Underscore[s] the most basic assumptions that divide us and the inability of hard-liners on both sides to hear the opposing view.” —Denver Post. “A tough-minded and courageous work.” —Denver Westward. “A play that takes you through an emotional and educational journey.” —Denver Darling. “A Passover Seder dinner provides the premise for a free-swinging discussion of politics and religion…The ethnic smorgasbord serves up zingers for every palate."
