Review
"A brilliant, terrifying, perceptive, occasionally funny play . . . bold, daring and succesful." --Donald Lyons, "New York Post" "A playwright . . . to watch with keen interest." --Markland Taylor, "Variety" "A startling, unnerving work of art that fiercely pushes the boundaries of theater."--Michael Kuchwara, "Associated Press"
