Press Reviews
"This biting, mordant comedy uses wit and laughter to delineate the plight of a group of “losers” who come together by chance in a chilly, deserted Long Island summer house. “…a stage full of characters as idiosyncratic as the Sycamores of You Can’t Take It With You, and just as amiable…a blizzard of hilarity…” —Boston Herald American. ”…great fun…some of the wittiest lines I've heard in a long, long time in the theater…"
