Press Reviews
"When Born Yesterday opened in 1946, its casually cynical take on American politics gave off the aroma of warm newsprint. The play’s depiction of the mercenary foundations of Washington deal making (and bill making) felt provocative in the complacent days when ticker tape from parades celebrating America’s triumph in World War II still stuck to shoes."
