What readers are saying

Readers find the play to be an intriguing exploration of art and beauty, though it poses challenges due to its heavy language and themes of sex and violence. The theatrical elements are also highlighted as engaging and thought-provoking.

Press Reviews

"[An] imaginative, funny and deeply serious allegorical play about eternal yearning…the work begins with a playful idea that turns into something else entirely as Haidle explores the role of art as a refuge—and witness—in a chaotic, cruel and mortal world.” —Variety. “[Haidle is] formidably talented, with a sort of freewheeling intuitive daring…he has a firm command of the theatrical idiom to back up his ambition for originality."

— The New Yorker
