Press Reviews

"Winner of the Obie Award. A searing, sometimes shocking, brilliantly conceived black comedy by a writer of major importance. Dealing with the twisted lives of people who are considered “freaks” by others, the play finds humor, as well as powerful compassion, in its harrowing recital of their plight. “This evening is strong stuff, but good stuff.” —The New York Times. “There is a fresh and powerful new voice in the theatre.” —New York Post. ”Stuns and shatters. Bold, haunting and thoroughly compelling. It's what great plays are all about."
