"Murillo's enjoyably hyper-theatrical play concerns the infinite latent possibilities within us, and the disturbing way in which our alienating and atomizing world encourages the furtive pursuit of one's kinkiest desires.“ —Los Angeles Times. ”It's provocative and sensual. And it probes the pressing question—the changing nature of identity in the virtual world.“ —Chicago Tribune. ”Murillo has an ear for the way kids talk, especially on the Internet…Amorality has rarely seemed so seductive—and so absolutely scary—as this.“ —Orlando Sentinel. ”…a shocking, revelatory look at how the Internet blurs reality and virtual reality. Perhaps no play since Equus has so searingly explored the violently malleable world of pubescent male sexuality.“ —Denver Post. ”…as sharp as a razor and as dark as the mind of a depressed teenager…timely and compelling.“ —Louisville Courier Journal. ”A lurid and provocative mind-tease of a play that is alternately irresistible and horrifying."
— Atlanta Journal-Constitution
