Press Reviews

"…A finely crafted and haunting work that merits further production. The main strength of the [play] is its unusual, provocative fusing of psychological and political themes…It is ideal for studios and second stages.” —Variety. ”The 90 taut minutes strip away layers of secrets and suggest a link between the men's sins—a dependence on the propensity of bourgeois Americans to look away from ugly facts rather than decry them."
