Press Reviews
"Makes it clear that [Woody Allen is] an accomplished playwright. The play is suffused with gentle laughter as well as touching insights about the damaging effects of parents on children, the effects of dreams and the incipient artist as insecure adolescent.... Should appeal to anyone interested in good theatre."
