"This is a great play, masterfully directed by Alison C. Vesely, with three of the finest performances by Larry Neumann, Jr., Erin Noel Grennan and Christian Gray-that I've seen on stage in Chicago in many a moon! O'Neill would be proud of this production. It is one of the finest shows of 2009!"

"Singular within O'Neill's body of work...it progresses into the heart of the pain beneath the laughter." - The New York Times
