Press Reviews

"Winner of a 2006 Obie Award for Playwriting. “Fantastical and funny…a heartbreaking study of a wounded and abandoned bird who finds refuge, strength and empowerment through her cyber-connections with the outside world…captures the speed, strain and surreality of a serious mental illness…reveals a lost child in a techno-world who is cracking up under the parental pressure of being the perfect girl.” —Variety. “…Bright and engaging…boldly imagined…Mr. Jones unfolds his tale of pioneering science fueled by post-adolescent angst with pleasing agility.” —The New York Times. ”A fresh, loopy and ultimately crushing play that tickles us under the chin and in the ribs, only to rip out our vulnerable hearts…explodes with vitality and charm…blessed with Jones' uncanny ear for spoken dialogue, the characters leap off the stage as if propelled by rocket fuel.“ —New Haven Register. ”Fantasy interweaves with a hard, gritty reality.“ —Connecticut Post. ”Harvests many laughs and finally a few"
