Press Reviews

"It is a lovely, poignant and deeply felt play. In no way at all is it an easy play - this formal minuet of death, this symphony ironically celebrating death's dominion. It is not easy in its structure, a series of almost operatic arias demanding, in their precision, pin-point concentration from the audience, and it is certainly not easy in its subject matter."
— The New York Times

"Done with brilliance... Fascinating, chilling, unsettling and oh so eloquent drama."
— Newsday
