Press Reviews

"It is the closest thing to a new classical tragedy that I have seen in twenty years of dramatic criticism."

— The Times (London)

"One will indeed find new plays that are so provocative, for the stuff of which THE WOODEN DISH is made of touches all families and into the fabric the author has threaded some delicate, homespun humor that adds tenderness and warmth."

— Cleveland Press
