Press Reviews

"The real world of the play is the familiar haunted by the unknown, parody colliding into cartoon, as if an antic Samuel Beckett has allowed himself to be kidnaped by a gloomily playful Charles Addams."

— Village Voice

"Severe apprehension, chilling suspicion, and the most severe type of stomach grinding humor combine to make a relentless play. . . . One of the most unique adult dramas of our time."

— Sun Coast Gondolier

"A compellingly ambiguous static drama, at times suggesting an allegory of a society gone sour on itself or a spiteful game played by malevolent gods atop some Appalachian Olympus."

— Los Angeles Times
