Press Reviews

"A stellar new play. Searingly funny.” – The New Yorker “A bitingly funny new comedy. The plight of working mothers is explored from two pointedly contrasting perspectives in this sympathetic, sensitive new play.” – Variety “A splendid and thought-provoking slice of life. Living Out manages to achieve in this production a specifically theatrical energy."
— New York Post
