Reviews
"Perfectly wonderful! Among the season's finest plays. It is tender, funny, packed with humanity and brimming with surprising revelations. Bathsheba Doran has written a play with such compassion and wry wisdom that I emerged from the theater into yet another frigid day feeling warmed from within." - The New York Times
"Wise and exquisitely crafted." - Time Out New York
"The best new play of this young year." - Deadline.com
