Press Reviews

"This powerful and moving play explores the alienation between a son and his father with rare perception and honesty. “…Mr. Wilson can write; his characters spring alive on stage; he holds our attention, he engages our heart.” —The New York Times. “…Wilson at his loveliest and most true. He is one of the very most talented writers in all the American theatre…” —Women's Wear Daily. “His language is rich and forceful, yet conveys a sense of graceful ease and breezy humor."
