Entertainment Weekly

"[Lanford Wilson's] dialogue is full of snap and humor. And this production has Paulson and Burstein to deliver his words, both of them in such fine control of their faculties as actors that their interplay is almost dancelike..."

Entertainment Weekly

Adam Markovitz

The New York Times

"...Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson infuse this gossamer two-character play with a warm, slightly spiky humanity that breathes vital life..."
