Press Reviews

"…remarkably free of both sensation and sentimentality in its depiction of the mundane mechanics involved in arranging the last days of men on death row…quietly moving.” —The New York Times. “Strong writing, powerful performances, and flawless helming soften the blunt impact of WHEN I COME TO DIE.” —Variety. “Jackson has a talent for taking stale formats that invite playwriting gimmickry and infusing the scenario with surprise and honesty."

— Time Out New York
