REVIEWS:

CRITIC'S PICK! "In fiercely written dialogues, each damaged person unlocks another. Hoffman writes beautifully for actors: climactic, showcase scenes... ruthlessly grown-up."

 Helen Shaw, Time Out New York 

"A meticulously mapped land of poetic coordinating points... replete with feral imagery and earthly symbolism... The play is best in its moments of quiet strain, in naturalistic dialogue that suggests how good will goes awry when we are trying our hardest to bond... [a] mystical cocktail of a play."

 Ben Brantly, The New York Times
