Press Reviews

"…the road taken determines the roads not taken, creating and extinguishing possibility in the same decision…In traveling the pothole-ridden highways of the '80s we finally left the promise of the fresh interstates of the '50s behind.

Pape uses cross-country wanderers loosely knitted together by family and happenstance to add sweep to the play [in which] Carol Ann Gates' riveting third-act monologue takes a fortune-cookie motto—'Mobility is the key to survival in the '80s—and turns it into a road trip of the heart…"
