Press Reviews
"Alternating between fantasy and reality, this acerbic black comedy offers a comic, but stinging, assessment of middle-class Jewish life in today's America. “…bizarre and arresting family portrait…” —New York Post. “It manages the difficult and useful trick of being sad even in its funniness, funny even in its sadness.” —New York Magazine. “…there is a genuine power and pain in the writing…” —BackStage. “…bears the unmistakable imprint of a writer with a genuinely talented, distinctive voice."
