Synopsis

Press Reviews

"A stirring new work…Belber's intelligent script is seamless; a bitterly funny parable in which the allure of knowledge—and of love—has inexorable consequences.“ —The New Yorker. ”Strong talk and sinewy structure…the ninety-minute narrative's strands twist into a noose from which there's no escape for the characters.“ —The Star-Ledger (NJ). ”Belber's play is cleanly constructed, his characters well-defined, his humor-spiked dialogue refreshingly natural.“ —The New York Times. ”A terrific new play."
