Press Reviews

"…the visual richness, intellectual wonder, and surprise of a mystery play, whose function is to outline the boundaries of the human experience.” —Evergreen Review. “It is an extraordinary play, imposing, yet informal, continually surprising, and, to me, profoundly disruptive emotionally.” —Village Voice. “…a theatrical master stroke."
