Synopsis

Book by Mark Medoff, Medoff, Mark

Press Reviews

"The author's second consecutive Off-Broadway hit, this brightly inventive comedy blends verbal eloquence and needle-sharp characterizations in its often biting examination of the antics of four graduate students. "…a dexterous and extraordinarily witty playwright. His quartet of academics is beautifully drawn with a knowing and loving hand."

— NY Times

"…a scornful, crisply funny comedy-drama…carefully, cannily shaped to control your attention, to keep you in suspense."

— Village Voice
