Press Reviews

"Ms. Churchill has put together with grace and anger and a generous humor an evening almost entirely composed of wants."

— Sunday New York Times

"A wonderful and strange play; passionate, tense, and eloquent."

— Village Voice

"Ms. Churchill...possesses one of the boldest theatrical imaginations to emerge in this decade who is amazingly enough plowing new ground in the theater with every new play."

— The New York Times
