Press Reviews
"Cracking entertainment and proof that few things work as effectively in theatre as a good old-fashioned courtroom drama."
— The Telegraph
"A masterpiece. This is the test: to see a play once, twice, three times. And each time to leave the theatre as deeply moved, as enlightened, as lifted up, as magnificently entertained. And as convinced that it is one of the truly great American dramas of this century."
— Scripps-Howard
