Press Reviews

"Laugh-out-loud comedy... The solo female monologue is expertly crafted to give the audience just enough to keep them on the edge of their seats... With a truly shocking twist at the end, you see why Ms. Rebeck’s play is considered by many to be a modern hilarious classic."

For ninety joy-filled minutes, we are invited into Haley's oversized, well-appointed Manhattan bedroom, to watch her dress and undress, parade around in an astounding variety of shoes, and regale us with stories about her life."
