Synopsis
Press Reviews
"[An] imaginative, funny and deeply serious allegorical play about eternal yearning…the work begins with a playful idea that turns into something else entirely as Haidle explores the role of art as a refuge—and witness—in a chaotic, cruel and mortal world.” —Variety. “[Haidle is] formidably talented, with a sort of freewheeling intuitive daring…he has a firm command of the theatrical idiom to back up his ambition for originality."
— The New Yorker
