Ecstasy
Mike Leigh
"A perfectly tart comedy....One of the brightest and most stimulating shows to be seen in Manhattan in many a month. This shrewd, sure footed work sets you up for a merry knockabout farce and then deliberately never delivers and yet is somehow more entertaining than if it did. The play's comic and satiric genius generates a delirious energy that is rare and satisfying."
— The New York Times
"The fun lies in the inevitability that we shall see the bodies come tumbling out of the closet and the skeletons out of the cupboard."
— London Guardian
"Leigh has a wonderful gift for conversation so rock bottom boring that it is hilarious."
— London Observer
