Press Reviews
"Astonishing. Not since Angels in America has a play attempted so much: nothing less than an examination of the American psyche at the end of the millennium."
— Associated Press
"There emerges a mosaic as moving and important as any you will see on the walls of the churches of the world… nothing short of stunning… you will be held in rapt attention."
— New York Magazine
